Hi: This was sent to the Crawford Co. list but I think all AR researchers would find it interesting. What was life like during the Civil War - were the farmers allowed to continue farming? This is what it was like for the Union sympathizers evidently.

Among them were many of our best Union Citizens, farmers, and mechanics who remained here through the summer, hoping that they would be permitted to return to their homes and farms this fall; but the unsettled state of the country and scarcity of provisions make it necessary for them to winter in the North. Many, when the troubles are over, will come back to Arkansas, but most of them wil permanently settle in Kansas and the States of the North-west.
