** This is a revised Second Edition - April 2014 ** **The editing
issues that were in the original work have been corrected. In
addition, the revised second edition now includes over forty pages
of additional photographs, some never before published, of the
commanders as well as how the battlefield looks today from several
key places on the battlefield.** In the spring of 1864 following
the failed Red River Campaign, two vast armies marched across
Southern Arkansas. The Federal Army, trying desperately to get back
to the safety of Little Rock, having marched toward Louisiana in
support of the Union's failed invasion of Texas was running out of
food and supplies. Union General Frederick Steele knew he had to
get his army back to the safety of Little Rock if they were to
survive. In hot pursuit of the Federals were thousands of
Confederates under command of General Edmund Kirby Smith. Their
mission: destroy the Union Army at all cost. As both armies marched
north toward Little Rock, the rain that had plagued the march early
on had returned with a vengeance, turning the Federal retreat into
a mud march. Standing in the way of the Federal retreat was the
rain swollen Saline River crossing at Jenkins' Ferry. The
frustrated Federals were forced to construct a pontoon bridge
across the rising river slowing their march, enabling the
Confederates to close the gap. The resulting Battle of Jenkins'
Ferry was one of the largest and certainly one of the most
vicarious in Arkansas Civil War history. Harvest of Death: the
Battle of Jenkins ' Ferry, Arkansas is the first major work
dedicated to the Battle of Jenkins' Ferry in fifty years. Author
Joe Walker tells the story of two armies and their epic clash
alongside the Saline River. Through the use of previously
unpublished photographs and stories, Walker brings the battle to
life as never before. Through the use of a previously unpublished
map of the battle, drawn by a Confederate Engineer shortly after
the battle, Walker shows the battle in a completely new light and
changes forever the way historians believed the Battle of Jenkins'
Ferry was fought. Walker also discusses the discovery of previously
forgotten accounts of the battle that suggest the Federal Army used
more that skill and tactics to out battle the Confederates - they
may have outwitted and defeated the Confederates through one
altered courier dispatch - an alteration that may have affected the
outcome of the battle and changed the balance of power in Civil War
Arkansas. The Battle of Jenkins' Ferry, Arkansas was one of the
most violent Civil War battles in our history with accusations of
atrocities committed by both sides. It will make you rethink the
history of Civil War Arkansas.
