The Battle of Palarm [graphic] / James M. Fortenbury [painter]. [between 1874 and 1878]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/47064586

The Battle of Palarm was a skirmish of the Brooks-Baxter War in 1874. The war was the result of the disputed gubernatorial election of 1872, which had Elisha Baxter (1827-1899) defeating Joseph Brooks (1821-1877). Pictured is the Baxter steamboat "Hallie," which was captured by the Brooks forces on the Arkansas River near the mouth of Palarm Creek. Shortly after this battle President U.S. Grant settled the dispute in favor of Baxter.
