It can be said that the American Civil War has drawn more interest and historical scholarship than any other event in our nation's past. The War as it was fought west of the Mississippi River has perhaps been the least covered of all the aspects of the conflict. General J. O. Shelby at Clarendon, Arkansas: The Capture and Destruction of the USS Queen City addresses the cauldron of lawlessness generated by deserters from both sides behind enemy lines, while highlighting the destruction of the USS Queen City by Gen. Joseph O. Shelby. This 1864 event on the lower White River, 50 miles from the Mississippi River, marks the only sinking of a Federal warship in Arkansas waters. Considered one of the best Confederate cavalrymen to operate in the Trans-Mississippi, Shelby led his "Iron Brigade" on one of the longest cavalry raids of the Civil War.

This is the first published comprehensive survey of naval action on the Mississippi River and its tributaries for the years 1863-1865. Following introductory reviews of the rivers and of the U.S. Navy's Mississippi Squadron, chronological Federal naval participation in various raids and larger campaigns is highlighted, as well as counterinsurgency, economical support and control, and logistical protection. The book includes details on units, locations and activities that have been previously underreported or ignored. Examples include the birth and function of the Mississippi Squadron's 11th District, the role of U.S. Army gunboats, and the war on the Upper Cumberland and Upper Tennessee Rivers. The last chapter details the coming of the peace in 1865 and the decommissioning of the U.S. river navy and the sale of its gunboats.

From Fort Henry through the siege of Vicksburg and from the Red River campaign through the Battle of Nashville, the gunboat was prominent in war legend and literature.

From 1861 to 1865, the Civil War raged along the great rivers of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. While various Civil War biographies exist, none have been devoted exclusively to participants in the Western river war as waged down the Mississippi to the mouth of the Red River, and up the Ohio, the Tennessee and the Cumberland. Based on the Official Records, county histories, newspapers and internet sources, this is the first work to profile personnel involved in the fighting on these great streams. Included in this biographical encyclopedia are Union and Confederate naval officers down to the rank of mate; enlisted sailors who won the Medal of Honor, or otherwise distinguished themselves or who wrote accounts of life on the gunboats; army officers and leaders who played a direct role in combat along Western waters; political officials who influenced river operations; civilian steamboat captains and pilots who participated in wartime logistics; and civilian contractors directly involved, including shipbuilders, dam builders, naval constructors and munitions experts. Each of the biographies includes (where known) birth, death and residence data; unit organization or ship; involvement in the river war; pre- and post-war careers; and source documentation. Hundreds of individuals are given their first historic recognition.

What? Another Civil War Book? - Yes. But this one is different enough to capture a whole new generation and turn them into keepers of the flame. - The working title of this new book was: Huckleberry Finn gets sucked up into the Civil War. Like Huck, Hunter Jones is a precocious, wily pre-teen who gets in and out of trouble as easily as Mark Twin's Huckleberry Finn did. - The story opens as Hunter Jones watches his dad get killed by a silky riverboat gambler, as they get ready to switch boats at Des Arc, trying to escape up the White River to Batesville, then onto St. Louis and the safety of the north, just as the Civil War is about to erupt. - As an indigent with no means of support, he is tossed off the boat, chased by an alcoholic town sheriff and forced to hide in the woods, surviving the best he can, until he gets shot and captured by soldiers from the newly formed Confederate Army. - General Thompson tells him, 'If you are going to eat my beans, you are going to fight my war.' With that Hunter becomes a non-combatant in the Confederate Army - a drummer and step-and-fetch-it for the general. It's in that role where he gets kicked in the head by a mule and goes into a coma. Two old crusty veterans of the Crimean and Mexican Wars befriend him. Believing that Hunter can hear even though he doesn't respond, they read to him daily from old copies of battlefield newspapers. - With his fertile imagination Hunter dreams he is living the events that are being read to him. Even though he and his story are fictional, the sad details, facts, figures and events of the Civil War are historically correct. Through his eyes the reader will visit and experience many first that changed or altered the direction of the Civil War, West of the Mississippi: the first battle of the war, the first General to die, the first use of instant messaging (telegraph) in a war, the first use of metal hulled ships (ironsides), the first battle Ulysses S. Grant fought (and lost?), plus other first.
