The Die Is Cast

By: Michael B. Dougan

Book Overview

The Die Is Cast examines why a small frontier state like Arkansas would choose to sever its ties with the United States and join the southern Confederacy. Under the direction of editor Mark K. Christ, five historians examine the political and social forces that led to secession and transformed farmers, clerks, and shopkeepers into soldiers. Collectively, these essays provide an overview of the diverse passions that finally brought the people of Arkansas to war.
