In 1874, the dispute over the office of governor, known as the Brooks Baxter War, erupted into violence in Little Rock (Pulaski County) and other areas of the state. Elisha Baxter’s supporters dug up a buried Civil War sixty-four-pound cannon, repaired it, named it “Lady Baxter,” and used it to threaten the opponent. The cannon is preserved on the grounds of the capital city’s Old State House Museum.
