Item Plague on the Homefront: Arkansas and the Great Influenza Epidemic of 1918(1988-12) Scott, Kim AllenItem Witness for the Prosecution: The Civil War Letter of Lieutenant George Taylor(1989-09) Scott, Kim Allen/X prosecutor must present the jury with evidence against the defendant which is believable beyond a reasonable doubt. Testimony based on hearsay or the recollections of a witness several years after the crime are always subject to damaging critique by the defense. To bolster a case based on a stale reminiscence, the prosecution may use corroborating evidence: the same story told by two different parties. However, if a sharp defense attorney can show that both sources are of equal antiquity, the corroboration strategy can still be easily defused. The best testimony for substantiating old stories is a witness deposition taken immediately after the crime was committed. The introduction of such evidence can confirm the truth of the dated accounts and win the case for the prosecution.Item The Fighting Printers of Company E, Eleventh Kansas Volunteer Infantry(1987-09) Scott, Kim AllenItem The Extinct 'Grass Eaters' of Benton County: A Reconstructed History of the Harmonial Vegetarian Society(1991-06) Scott, Kim AllenItem Eloquent Brevity: The Arkansas Campaign Diary of Henry Elliott Thompson(2011-06) Scott, Kim AllenItem Comics and Candidates(1992-09) Scott, Kim Allen; Parks, SusanSome interesting changes occurred in Arkansas politics after World War II. Many Arkansas veterans had gained a different world view from their experiences and became impatient with the "politics as usual" they found on their return home. During the postwar years, former soldiers and sailors began to survey the state's governmental landscape, hoping to bring issues as well as personalities into the Arkansas political arena. Fresh developments in the communications media allowed these innovative office seekers to experiment with diverse means of reaching voters with their message. One of the new media developments, political comics, and the role those comics played in the Arkansas elections of 1948 and 1950 are the topics of this paper. We will begin by defining what we mean by "political comics," examine some of their characteristics, and then discuss their use during the postwar political contests in Arkansas.Item Pursuing an Elusive Quarry: The Battle of Cane Hill, Arkansas(1997-03) Scott, Kim Allen; Burgess, StephenItem The Civil War in a Bottle: Battle at Fayetteville, Arkansas(1995-09) Scott, Kim AllenTHE TERRIFYING MORNING of April 18, 1863, seemed like an eternity for Sarah Yeater as she cowered in a*damp Fayetteville cellar. Muffled sounds of rapid gunfire, shouting men, and jingling harnesses coming from the yard above caused Sarah to tremble violently as she hugged her three-year-old son Charley and stared wild-eyed at the other civilians who huddled with her in the darkness. Sick with ague and five months pregnant to boot, Sarah had ample reasons for trembling beyond the sounds of battle raging overhead, yet an additional shock to the young housewife's nerves was about to be cruelly delivered. As Sarah rose from her mattress to speak to her sister-in-law, Sallie, the cellar rang from the sudden concussion of an artillery shell. The missile shattered the jamb of the basement door, knocked down fragments of brick and mortar from the chimney in the kitchen above, and cracked in two a large iron kettle of lye that rested on the hearth. Choking with dust and screaming in terror, die helpless women and children saw the flash of the iron shell as it bounded rapidly into their midst and just as suddenly disappeared. Sarah could not have known it at the time, but the broken kettle in the kitchen had actually saved her and the others from certain death: the lye had miraculously extinguished the fuse an instant before the projectile dropped down to the refugees below.Item Demonstrating the Obvious: Elementary School Programs for Reenactors(Camp Chase Publishing Co., Inc., 1995) Scott, Kim AllenItem Sense and Sensibility: Reenacting and the Authentically Correct(Camp Chase Publishing Co., Inc., 1996) Scott, Kim Allen
