almost arkansas. what the arrow depicts is essentially the movement of the united states army of the southwest in the first half of 1862 as that army moved from missouri, just off the top of the map, the board, through springfield, to the battle site at pea ridge, in benton county, arkansas, and then a long circuitous route almost, but not quite to little rock, probably to the cabot/jacksonville area today. and then looping back around and across the delta to helena on the mississippi river. and what we'll do tonight is explain how this operation unfolded, what happened along the way, and of what importance it was in arkansas history. and in the civil war, the history of the civil war. the pea ridge campaign began atop the ozark plateau in the depths of a midwestern winter. and it ended, 700 miles away on the banks of the mississippi river at the height of a southern summer. from start to finish, the campaign lasted almost exactly six months. when the was over the confederacy in the trans-mississippi

six months after his birth, his father was transferred outside of arkansas and he only came back to arkansas one time in this life in 1952 when he was 72 years of age. during that return visit in 1952, here on these grounds, for the first time publicly, he acknowledged in a speech to 10,000 people that he was returning to the place of his birth. for us, that's the very significant part of our site's history, our building's history. we embrace mcarthur and proudly include him in the name of our museum. 1952 was a very pivotal point in mcarthur's career. in fact, that brings us to this room that we're standing right now. in april of 1951, after a very lengthy military service that spanned three worldwide conflicts. world war i, world war ii and korea, mcarthur was relieved of command by harry s. truman. it's important for us to consider the korean conflict occurred five years after the end of world war ii and that was a conflict that had spanned all over our globe. millions of people had died. lives had been uprooted and affected by it. and then here we were five years later, you know, getting

two weeks later when "the arkansas" steamed down river, the connecting rods broke and "the arkansas'" crew blew her up to prevent her capture by union gun boats. "the arkansas" had been able to get that far down river because the navy department sent the welcome orders to take his fleet down to new orleans and then with part of it out into the is gulf of mexico to avoid being stranded in the river as the water continued to drop. we don't know where we will be next, farragut informed his wife, but just so that we are on salt water i shall be satisfied and hope not to grumble at the fates that will take me out of the freshwater river. the failure to take vicksburg in july 1862 was part of a succession of union failures in the second half of that year which arrested the union momentum that had crested with farragut's capture of new orleans and the river navy's capture of memphis. for the time being, the confederates owned the mississippi river between vicksburg and port hudson which they also fortified. but farragut's achievements dm 1862 had set the stage for the campaigns that captured

this and then an arkansas sixth and seventh. it was very generous of missouri to go into this agreement with us. and we needed to raise money for two flags. so people donated money, but we also applied for a grant from save america's treasures. and we were awarded a grant. so we were able to conserve these two flags. they just recently came back to the state from the conservation in west virginia. and so when this exhibit opens in may, this will be the first time that the public will be able to see these flags on exhibit since the war. this is interesting. >> one of the questions i have for you as you pull it out is why are flags so popular? it seems to be something a lot of people connect with. >> people are very connected to flags because when these -- you have to stop and think. when these young men were out on the battlefield, this was honor. this was their badge of honor. it was a great honor, actually, to be designated the flag carrier. the person that carried these flags into battle. you hear allstories about, youhe flag

i guess the only time arkansas -- twice i guess arkansas has caught the national attention and that,of course, was in 1957 when the governor used the national guard to try to prevent integration at central high school setting off a constitutional crisis in this country, and the second time, of course, was in 1992 when our governor was elected president of the united states. election fraud in arkansas, i think anyway, is much diminished. you've had some serial changes. first of all, in the 1960s we got rid of the poll tax in arkansas and elsewhere in the south which was a, an easy tool for political bosses to use to manipulate the vote. that went out in 1964. then we had a permanent voter registration system which cured some of the problems, made election fraud more difficult. and then we got voting machines, another reform, in the 1960s and 1970s, and that also made some forms of election fraud more difficult. so i think elections are, by and large, much cleaner now than they were in that era, but still almost every election in arkansas, particularly eastern arkansas, there are examp

. >> what role did the arkansas river play? there anything to the geography of the area that played into how the battle in the civil war played out here? >> yes. well, the arkansas river was in the many ways the bread basket for the region, the agricultural output of the counties bordering the river was huge. and it also was a means of getting, the best means of getting from the mississippi river to the inner land, into the indian territory. the arkansas was not a especially beloved river for steam boat captains. it tended to suddenly run dry, and a lot of times boats would be trapped in pools between sandbars until a freshet would come through, but ultimately, you could get to the, as far as fort gibson on the river. now it was also seen by the union, i think, as the best means of taking little rock. and little rock was very important symbolically as a confederate state capital. lincoln wanted to bring as many of those capitals back into the union as possible. so in 1863 that became a war goal. and after vicksburg fell, the ma

there was no threat no missouri and arkansas was defenseless. and so curtis, having refit, resupplied his troops, moved eastward, dipping back into missouri and then turning sharply south through say legal and batesville and jackson port, s searcy, came within 40 miles of little rock and meeting nothing but local guerrilla resistance. it could not be stretched any farther. curtis men with all his officers and everyone agreed. sure, we can sprint to little rock and capture it without firing a shot, but it's better to march the union army to a river port that was available year round and just wait for better conditions. so curtis turns around and marches eventually across the delta through clarendon and so forth to helena. just a few days after the union army arrives there, as we'll see, a relief convoy appears. so to make a little more -- to flesh out that narrative a little bit more, with no necessity now of shielding missouri from a confederate army that has disappeared, curtis

there was no threat no missouri and arkansas was defenseless. he resupplied his troom -- troops, resupplied his troops. it could not be stretched any farther. curtis men with all his officers and everyone agreed. sure, we can sprint to little rock and capture it without firing a

arkansas is kind of off the beaten path with peninsular state. a rural state and never had much power from its inception. this kind of backward state and never the center of attention at the country. the only time park was the national attention and i was in 57 where she try to protect the integration of the central high school, setting off a constitutional crisis. on the second type of courses in 1992 when our governor was elected president. i think it anyways much diminished. you can't run serial changes. first off in the 1960s only got rid of the poll tax also in the south, which was an easy to for political classes to manipulate info. that would not in 1964. then we had a permanent voter registration system which gives some of the problems in the election fraud more difficult. and then wake up voting machines under in 1960s and 1970s analysis needed more difficult. selections are by and large mess cleaner now. but almost every election in eastern arkansas are examples and you never quite get to the bottom of an. it goes up and down through th

the spanish american war and arkansas. it's really one of the conflicts in our state and i think our nation's history that has been overlooked when you look at the military history of our country. we opened this exhibit a couple months ago and excited about the artifacts we have on display and the chance to tell the visitors the role our state and the impact that this splendid conflict had on the development of our country and our state. while a lot of people overlook the importance of the war somehow we focus our attention on the civil war and then fast forward to world war i, and there are several conflicts during this period of time i think are very important and the spanish american war is one of them. for us it represented for us in the south, it represented the first major conflict post-civil war. and for southerners it was the chance for southerners and northerners to come together as americans, for the first time after the war, it was a chance for all of us to come together as a nation, as americans, to fight again

lincoln middle kind of jokes about arkansas and wanted to prove the arkansas gazette uncivilized and uncultured. the natural history of indian artifacts and various kinds of things that were founder of the animals on display. whenever she could get donated and whatever she to get money raised by she put on display in the museum to be the start of a little storefront here in little rock and then ended up in city hall. in the great depression came along and they closed the museum and put things in storage. a lot of it disappeared and the newspaper writers pulled things of the garbage on the fun things in the alley. but bernie held on to it and eventually into that the arsenal which is about a mile south of here, south of downtown little rock. and she was able to get permission to put the museum back on display in the old u.s. arsenal of larocco and that's where she put on things like a piece of sandstone people thought was hundreds and hundreds of-years-old and actually probably was at 20th century but she wasn't willing to admit that possibility of the time and she lived in the baseme

well, word spread like wildfire across eastern arkansas. within days thousands, one union soldiers he counted as many as 4,000 people in a single day, thousands of people, men, women, children, lined the dusty roads ahead of the union army. they poured into towns where the federals happened to stop for a night. so as the army of the southwest went toward the mississippi river, it was followed by an immense and ever lengthening tail of people of all ages carrying all their possessions and one suspects a little bit of old mass's possessions and accompanied by thousands and thousands of farm animals, sheep and goats. one union officer said now i realize what the ark must have looked like. emancipation came haltingly, slowly in the civil war. it came first on a large scale to northeast arkansas in the summer of 1862. well, on july 12th the army of the southwest finally marched into helena. this brought to a close one of the most remarkable operations of the civil war. during the first six months of '62, the federals marched 700 miles from ralei
