Title: This book is very comprehensive, maybe too much detail.
Review: Banasik obviously put a vast amount of effort into his work and it shows! It details the war around Arkansas for only the last nine months of 1862, but from a huge list of sources, he's gleaned nearly 500 pages of information. For some it may be a tedious read (the Prairie Grove Battle is almost second by second and comprises over a hundred pages), but for those of us with ancestors in the battle it was exciting to relive the moment by moment action. The Prairie Grove Battle hasn't been built up like the Eastern battles, but Herron's heroic march and then the amazing luck when Blunt arrived in the nick of time to relieve Herron and the fact that Arkansas was saved for the Union for another year places it as a small but relevant piece of history.
