Books of General Interest Confederate Women of Arkansas: Memorial Reminiscences Originally published in 1907 by the United Confederate Veterans to raise money for a memorial to women of the Confederacy at the state capitol, this classic collection of Civil War experiences and related material has been long out-of-print and difficult to obtain. M & M Press, Fayetteville, Arkansas has published a new edition of this book. Completely reset in easily read type, the new version also features an historical introduction by Michael B. Dougan, Professor of History, Arkansas State University, some additional material that did not appear in the original, and an Index (which was sorely lacking in the original).

ISBN: 0-943099-23-4 Sixteen Days at Mungol-li by James Hamilton Dill An exciting first-hand account of front-line action in the early stages of the Korean conflict. Sixteen Days at Mungol-li is a history of sixteen crucial days in May of 1951 when the allied main line of resistance was determined to halt any further Chinese advance and to turn back the Communist forces. Lieutenant Dill was a forward artillery observer attached to an American rifle company forward of the main line of resistance. The mission was to find the enemy and determine the strength and direction of their efforts. This account of his experiences and of what happened in that forgotten mountain valley more than fifty years ago is a tribute to the men who fought and those who led them; it is also a tribute to the people of Korea.
