Book Description
Once Upon Dickson tells the story of Dickson Street, Fayetteville, Arkansas, the colorful and ever-changing link between the center of town and the University campus. Carefully researched, it will appeal to a large popular audience of residents and visitors to the city's premier entertainment district and to University personnel and alumni, for whom it is as memorable in their college experience as Old Main or Razorback Stadium. In a time when Dickson Street is undergoing radical change, the book serves as a reminder that the street has been changing almost from the earliest time in its history. Residences, churches, public institutions, and businesses have come, gone, and sometimes come again, but because of its location, Dickson Street remains at the heart of Fayetteville.

Book Description
Distilled from Arkansas: A Narrative History, the definitive work on the subject since its original publication in 2002, Arkansas: A Concise History is a succinct one-volume history of the state from the prehistory period to the present. Featuring four historians, each bringing his or her expertise to a range of topics, this volume introduces readers to the major issues that have confronted the state and traces the evolution of those issues across time. After a brief review of Arkansas’s natural history, readers will learn about the state’s native populations before exploring the colonial and plantation eras, early statehood, Arkansas’s entry into and role in the Civil War, and significant moments in national and global history, including Reconstruction, the Gilded Age, the Progressive Era, the Elaine race massacre, the Great Depression, both world wars, and the Civil Rights Movement. Linking these events together, Arkansas: A Concise History offers both an understanding of the state’s history and a perspective on that history’s implications for the political, economic, and social realities of today.

Book Description
This book is the story of the devastation of Fayetteville, Arkansas, during the Civil War. The beautiful frontier town in the mountains is described in the first chapter, 1860: Fayetteville on the Eve of War. The second chapter, 1861: Confederate Days, tells of the Confederate hopes of nationhood and the shock of civil war reaching Northwest Arkansas. The third chapter, 1862: Destruction and Death, describes life in town as it was flooded with casualties of the battles of Pea Ridge in March and Prairie Grove in December. The fourth chapter, 1863: The Battle of Fayetteville, describes the return of Union troops, mostly Union men from Arkansas. There is a detailed description of the Battle of Fayetteville on April 18, 1863, a struggle between Arkansas soldiers in gray and blue, a true civil war battle. It includes a map of the battle, and the back cover of the book shows the imposition of the battle positions on a modern street map of the city. Chapter 4: An Occupied Town in an Endless War describes how the Confederate resurgence in the countryside isolated the Union-occupied town. The final chapter is 1865: Peace from the East. This is a second edition of the book.
