Univ. of Arkansas Press produced it about two months ago, but I’ve seen little advertisements for it as yet. I know of your interest in cotton confiscation and in it I placed a multipage appendix on the subject. One of the problems of editing a book is that when you start a footnote, and it grows and grows, what do you do with it? My answer was to create an appendix. I found a couple of letters on the subject, along with the material in the Official Records – Navy.

Have you seen the Bayou Cache battle description in “Army Life” by Albert O. Marshall from U. of Arkansas Press (that I edited)?

Chris,

Great post! My interest was actually less in the battle itself than in the “Normalites.” One of my interests is in the role of the University of Notre Dame in the war (the chaplains and sister-nurses have garnered attention, but the student-soldiers, happenings at the school, etc, have received less attention). As an extension of that research, I am also interested in how other colleges and universities ‘prepared for war” (school-based militia companies, etc.) or volunteered en masse. This story certainly adds to my knowledge.

Thanks,

Jim schmidt
