Arkansas 1800-1860 Remote and Restless

by S. Charles Bolton; SB; 207 pages
Often thought of as a primitive backwoods peopled by rough hunters and unsavory characters, early Arkansas was actually quite productive and dynamic. Bolton describes migration, agricultural growth, religion, the roles of women, slavery, the dispossession of the Cherokees and Quapaws, and many other facets of Arkansas's development.
