The Arkansas Post Story
Most of us are familiar with iconic national monuments such as Gettysburg National Military Park, the Washington Monument, the Statue of Liberty, and Mount Rushmore but not as familiar with the Arkansas Post. Even if you have never heard of the Arkansas Post, it plays a crucial role in American history both as a trading post and as the site of several battles, the most famous being the Confederate surrender at Fort Hindman, securing Union forces control of the Arkansas River and contributing to their crucial victory at Vicksburg.
Consider it your duty to add this book to your shelves if you have any desire to learn more about the Arkansas Post. Author Roger E. Coleman takes the reader on a journey from the Post’s founding all the way up to its establishment as a National Memorial through his thorough research, including helpful photos and maps.
