I received the following and it made me think of all those who helped the
Civil War soldiers. Maybe we could send a book today in honor of
our Civil War ancestors.
Unused Books Wanted By Vets
Anyone who has been hospitalized
knows that between visits from
family and
friends there is little to do to
keep up one's spirits. Books
fill that
void by not only filling time
but providing education. A wise
man once
said, "A man confined to a bed
can travel the world through
books."
If you have an old (or new) book
you've read that is now only
taking up
space you can make a very
appreciative veteran. To make a
book contribution
mail a used (or new) book (or
two, or three) to The American
War Library.
(PLEASE DO NOT SEND MONEY TO BUY
BOOKS)
ADDRESS TO MAIL YOUR "BOOK(S)
FOR VETS":

Added photographs of the Marmaduke - Walker panel to the
Little
Rock campaign.
Marmaduke - Walker Duel
As Union forces advanced to capture Little Rock during the Civil War,
the last duel in Arkansas was fought near this spot in an open grove of
heavy timber between Generals John Sappington Marmaduke and Lucius
Marshall Walker at 6:00 a.m., Sunday, September 6, 1863. Walker
challenged Marmaduke to the duel after the Battle of Reed's Bridge on
August 27, 1863, because of Marmaduke's critical remarks about Walker's
courage and Marmaduke's refusal to serve any longer under Walker after
that battle. They met at the LeFevre home, formerly located
approximately 200 yards east of here. Walker was mortally wounded and
died the next day at the Cates home in Little Rock. Marmaduke was put
under arrest, which was suspended. He then led Confederate forces at the
last battle of the Little Rock campaign at Fourche Bayou, before Little
Rock was captured by Union forces on September 10, 1863. - North Little
Rock History Commission. |

First off, let me just say, if you didn't make it to the October
meeting, you missed a wonderful presentation by Tom Dillard. We
had a very good turn out for the meeting with about 45 people present.
 I
have finally finished up the 1862 Arkansas Gazette Chronicles on my
website. You can read them at
1862 I love reading all of the
smaller things that are sometimes overlooked, like the formation of
Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock for the burial of Civil War Soldiers.
