Dr. Buckley T. Foster, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of 19th-Century Southern and Arkansas History at the University of Central Arkansas. He is a 6th-generation Arkansawyer. Foster's first book, Sherman’s Mississippi Campaign, started as his dissertation at Mississippi State University. His latest monograph, So Great Was the Slaughter: Market Hunters, Sportsmen, and Wildlife Conservation in Arkansas, examines the decline of market hunting, the rise of the modern sportsman, and the origins of wildlife conservation in Arkansas from 1800 to 1925. The Arkansas Center for the Book at the Arkansas State Library has chosen So Great Was the Slaughter as a 2025-2026 Arkansas Gem. Arkansas Gems posters and bookmarks feature approximately twenty new works about Arkansas or by authors with a connection to the Natural State. Foster's subsequent research project involves the Federal side of early wildlife conservation, the Migratory Bird Law/Act, and the fight between non-resident sportsmen and market hunters at Big Lake in Arkansas. Presently, he and co-editor Dr. Christopher Mortenson have edited the diary of one of Stonewall Jackson’s colonels (one believed lost for over fifty years), which the University of Tennessee Press is publishing in 2026. His website and blog, arkansaswildlifehistory dot com, contain images and research about Arkansas’s rich hunting, fishing, and conservation history. He has written for Arkansas Wildlife, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Arkansas Historical Quarterly, and Greenhead Magazine. He has appeared on the Bear Grease podcast in Episode 312. He also appeared on the Arkansas Game and Fish Podcast--Arkansas Wildlife and a segment of Arkansas Outdoors at KFSM TV in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
