Description
Robert Jarman lived in Hempstead County, in what was known as the "wilds of Arkansas." Hearing of the war coming to Arkansas, Robert and his three friends
soon joined the 4th Arkansas Infantry, Confederate States of America, having to leave their families and sweethearts behind. The war took the four friends
through the battles of Elkhorn Tavern (Pea Ridge) in Arkansas; Farmington, Mississippi; Richmond, Kentucky; and Murfreesboro, Tennessee (Stones River), all
in 1862. Having volunteered to defend their homes in Arkansas, they ended up fighting their first four battles in four different states.
Standing on the Edge of Time brings out the many hardships and the suffering the soldiers endured on the campaigns and long marches sometimes through the
worst weather conditions. Hundreds of historical facts are included, giving a unique view of the Civil War as rarely seen.
