S. Charles Bolton has produced a breezy yet long overdue synopsis of Arkansas history from the dawn of the nineteenth century to the eve of the Civil War. This state has long been ignored by historians, and Bolton's book provides a much-needed overview of the antebellum era. There are no footnotes, yet there is a bibliography for each chapter at the end of the book. This work clearly targets the reading public and could also be quite useful in upper-level college courses in Arkansas and southern history. |
