Civil
War in the Ozarks
by Phillip W. Steele, Steve Cottrell
Many people may not realize that the Ozarks were a volatile region
during the Civil War, but according to The New York Times, the Battle of
Carthage was "the first serious conflict between the United States troops
and the rebels." In writing Civil War in the Ozarks, the late Phillip W.
Steele and Steve Cottrell extensively researched the battles on the western
front that took place between 1861 and 1865. They looked at the heroes,
outlaws, and peacemakers who influenced the role the Ozarks played in the
war between the states. Both are noted researchers on Civil War and Ozarks
history from Arkansas and Missouri. In the Ozarks, skirmishes between the
abolitionist Kansas Jayhawkers and slaveholders in Arkansas and Missouri
had begun years before Fort Sumter was fired upon. The neutral citizens
of Missouri, who later joined in the fight for reasons of self-defense
or vengeance, were often caught in the crossfire of raids between the two
groups. Relocated Indian tribes of present-day Oklahoma-the Choctaw, Chickasaw,
Seminole, and Creek-were part of the violence. Some joined the Union or
Confederate armies, while others acted as frontier renegades against western
expansion. The great divisions of the Ozark people were as extensive as
those of the whole country. The factions and fighting made the Ozarks one
of the bloodiest regions during the Civil War. Ozark residents, Cottrell,
and formerly Steele, chronicled the bloody and fearsome events of the westernmost
front.
