Written by Local Scholars
Having become interested in family genealogy, and having been born and raised in Arkansas, I wanted to refresh my memory of Arkansas history to supplement my genealogical research.
This book is written by history professors I had at UALR back in the mid-70s. So it was an opportunity to see their scholarship outside the classroom.
I have not been disappointed. The book provides a solid review of the intricate and colorful aspects of Arkansas history.
I can recommend this book without reservation.
