Biography

Matthew M. Stith received his B.A. in History from Missouri Southern State University and his M.A. in History from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville—where he is currently completing a Ph.D. His research and teaching interests are Nineteenth Century American history with particular interest in the social, environmental, and military history of the Civil War era. His dissertation, “Social War: People, Nature, and Irregular Warfare on the Trans-Mississippi Frontier, 1861-1865,” explores the intersection between society, nature, and warfare during the Civil War in one of the most complex and troubled regions of South. Beyond the often depressing study of warfare, he is fascinated by the role wildlife has played in helping shape human history and is in the beginning stages of a book-length manuscript which examines various ways black bears have shaped southern society and culture from colonial times to the present. He has published essays in the Ozark Historical Review, Arkansas Historical Quarterly, and the Military History of the West. His book reviews have appeared in the Pacific Northwest Quarterly, H-Net, and History: Reviews of New Books.
