NF Book Recommendations for post 1862 Arkansas

[Rusk County Avengers]

I've been compiling a list of books to buy for research project I think is well enough known now, and I'm curious for any I may have missed. My "shopping list" currently consists of:
1. "Loyalty on the Frontier" by A.W. Bishop
2. "Fayetteville Arkansas in the Civil War" by Russell Mahan
3. "Guerrillas, Unionists, and Violence on the Confederate Home Front" by Daniel E. Sutherland

The area I'm focused on is NW Arkansas, and I want to know the best books covering that area after Prairie Grove, 1863-onwards. Also any books with very good details on Price's 1864 Missouri "Raid" when it started out from northern Arkansas would be appreciated. Especially details and first hand accounts of their uniforms and arms at that period.

This little book hunt is related to the thread I started not to long ago sharing my craziest, and oddly plausible idea I've had yet since getting myself involved in the film industry: https://civilwartalk.com/threads/an-idea-born-out-of-frustration.162785/

So I'd appreciate to here any suggestions. Even if nothing comes of the hair brained scheme, I've still found myself becoming more, and more interested in this forgotten theater of the war. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Thanks, all sound like good suggestions, but "A Continual Thunder" sounds very interesting as its author is an authority on the area. I've never heard of any of these books.

Mark Christ was one of the speakers at Jefferson in August.

To be honest I've never heard of him. Also to be honest I stopped paying attention to the speakers list years ago. Several years of Red River Campaign does that, especially when I've devoted many, many years to researching, and always am studying the Red River Campaign off and on. (Except for last year when Fred Adolphus was gonna speak, but that did come to be.)

They focus on that every year because of Jefferson being a target and promoting Jefferson. The sad part is there is so much else connected to Jefferson that they could use as well. I didn't pay much mind to the differences this year, and simply didn't give a hoot. They lost me a long time ago for good.

Bad part is I mainly went this year to set up with my old pard as usual with him never showing up! He went to the Texarkana gun show and forgot to tell me! He didn't come for the same reasons I don't get excited anymore at that which was a kick in a bad place to me. Though getting together with fellow CWT members is enough to get me out to, just not pay to listen to stuff I'm already very well versed in and don't care to hear stuff I already know, or once knew and will probably rediscover it, (plus I don't care to listen to the worshiped book author who's always because of his Red River book who is foolish enough to believe with his whole heart there were Hunley "variants" at Shreveport even though there is NO evidence and it defies all knowledge of the Trans-Mississippi Department to think so to anyone who's looked into the logistics and facts outside of battles and generals).

Sorry if I'm a little ranty, the Jefferson button got pushed

A place near and dear to my heart, with great people and sites, but a place of ignorance that's paying for it and doesn't realize it. I've said it before, and will again, when I tried the water there I felt my IQ drop ten points.
