General Hindman's defensive strategy for Arkansas in 1862 was for the locals to poison their wells, and slash and burn anything of value in front of General Curtis' army. In short, he asked Arkansans to die either fighting the enemy in the army or starving in front of their advance. Such was the state of the State of Arkansas in the Spring of 1862. Weapons sent to replace those taken by Van Dorn were muskets so old that no other state would accept them as weapons. The local militia and independently raised companies along with a group of Texans caught in General Hindman's net made up the core of defense against General Curtis' orders to capture Little Rock. Times were desperate and desperate times call for desperate measures, and so begins our story as Sergeant Dallas Texas Crockett takes aim on the heart of Lacy Luellen Richardson in a desperate attempt to save the good people of White County, Arkansas while finding hidden jewels, silver, and lead to support the Confederate War effort.
