My book is an expansion of the lengthy article that I published in "Blue & Gray" back in 2000. In my book I go into more length detail as to the overall situation in Missouri preceding Porter's Campaign as well as the campaign itself. My book account of the Palmyra Massacre and its aftermath contains more details, and there is a more in depth analysis of the situation in Arkansas following Porter's return and Marmaduke's Winter Raid and the Battle of Hartville, as well a final detailed analysis of Porter.
