A community at war with the spring of 1864, Federal troops burned Waldron, Arkansas, to the ground and rode away.The citizens who returned to the ashes rebuilt their town, their courthouse, and their lives. But they could not rebuild the trust that the Civil War had destroyed. What followed was one of the most violent and least-known episodes of the American Reconstruction era. For a full decade, Scott County, Arkansas, was consumed by a factional war fought through stolen election records, assassinations in public streets, arson, the murder of a witness before his young daughter's eyes, and the approach of an armed mob that only a flooded river stopped from becoming a massacre.History of The Waldron War tells the full story for the first time. Drawing on militia records, court testimony, legislative archives, and the gravestone of a man whose family carved their accusation in granite for all time, this book traces the conflict from its origins in the burned ruins of 1864 through the elections, feuds, murders, and military occupations of the 1870s to its final acts of legal revenge in 1882. Inside you will find: The full cast of the conflict - the governors who sent soldiers, the adjutant general who moved into Waldron to impose order, the senator who abolished a government office in revenge, and the ordinary citizens who paid in blood for a decade of political story of Peter Beam - shot dead by hidden assailants before his young daughter because he had chosen to warn a man whose murder was being night the river saved Waldron - how a flooded Poteau River stopped an armed mob from reaching the town and likely prevented the worst bloodshed in Arkansas Reconstruction 49 of 1879 - the legislative act that abolished the Office of Adjutant General of Arkansas, leaving the state without a senior military officer for twenty-eight years, as revenge for the indignity of being with the narrative drive of the best American historical writing and grounded in the primary sources, this is the definitive account of a war that the state of Arkansas has never fully reckoned with - and a story whose lessons about what happens when democratic institutions fail have never been more relevant.For readers of Reconstruction history, Arkansas history, Southern history, and American political violence.
