29. Fields of Blood: The Prairie Grove Campaign, by William L. Shea

I am not much of a historian, and the particulars of military events are not usually my thing, but I have been looking at family history in this area at this time.  I believe the target audience would be looking for something different than I was, focused on my particular kin and their lives. I did find a family member of my stepfather quoted a couple of times.  I remain shocked at the difficulty of life in these times in northwest Arkansas.  Probably it is a pretty good book for those more militarily inclined.
