Excerpt from Down in Arkansas Each claimed credit for the road's existence. It was pretty hard to tell, just then, who did own it and it has been somewhat of a conundrum ever since. There was no one present to speak for the Dutch bond holders, though they had a sympathetic listener, whose abused mind wandered away to the foggy shores of Holland, and was lost in visions of bottles and bar rels and bung-holes.

Excerpt from An Arkansas Planter That was the Arkansas planter yearsago, be fore the great sentimental storm swept down upon him, before an evening's tea-table talk in Massachusetts became a tornado of iron in Vir ginia. When ragged and heart-sore he re turned from the army, from as brave a fight as man ever engaged in, he sat down to dream over his vanished greatness. But his dream was short. He went to work, not to te-establish his former condition of ease - for that hope was be yond him - but to make a living for his family.

Excerpt from History of Scott County, Arkansas In the following pages I have endeavored to pre sent the out-standing facts of the history of Scott County. I have been impelled to do this by several reasons. First, I confess to a measurable sentiment in the matter. The county is my home, and the men and women who made this history are my homefolk. Their history is, so to speak, my own, and, therefore, a very absorbing study to me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Pioneers and Makers of Arkansas The aim of this book will be as Macaulay expressed it to make the past present, to bring the present near, to invest with the reality of human flesh and blood beings whom we are too much inclined to consider as personified qualities, rather than to rob history of its human element by a cataloguing of facts without effort to read their meaning. With Lord Acton, the sanest historic authority, we believe that History is the con science oi mankind, and have therefore set out thousands of facts as a potent influence in showing what the pioneers really did - their modus operandi - their hopes, joys and sorrows, asparts of an experience we are interested to know and from which we may one and all draw general lessons of moral and political wisdom.

Excerpt from County Arkansas The great trouble, in a money-making way, with most of the American farmers, is, that they do not place0 a roper estimate upon the small things. Branch of industry has suffered more from this neglect than farming. In the older countries of the world where the population is dense and land for farming scarce, necessarily the little things must be studied and utilized in the economics of the farm. In China and Japan the farms consist of only a fraction of an acre and the man in Germany who cultivates ten acres is quite an important personage. In some of the older states of t is country farming is conducted upon a few acres, but in this great unlimited outdoors of the Central and Southwest the trick has not yet been learned to fence in only a few acres and to cultivate. These in a manner to yield large results. Too much energy is still being wasted-in the effort to get one hundred bushels of corn from five acres, when an acre and a half should produce the same quantity. Only a few years ago in South Missouri and Northwest Arkansas, the farmer thought he had performed his full duty when he planted his fields in corn, wheat and oats. If he had his crop planted in good time and the season was favorable, he sometimes came out ahead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
