Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the North-Western Editorial Excursion to Arkansas: A Short Sketch of Its Inception and the Routes Traveled Over, the Manner in Which the Editors Were Received, the Resolutions Adopted and Speeches Made at Various Points Crossmg'the river this hack, by invitation, to meet our guests upon 'the farther bank of the Arkansas, I stepped, while waiting, the arrivalof the shops of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway, Where was being constructed a cabinet of timber grown entirely in this State. It was nearly finished, and was a most beautiful specimen of mechanical skill. It was intended, I lea1ned, for exhibition, first at the coming Fair in St. Louis, 'and then at the, Centennial. The kinds of timber used were ash, beech, bois d'arc, ' cherry, cedar, cypress, gum, holly, hickory, oak, poplar, pine and walnut, and certainly these woods had never taken more attractive form. The conspicuous red of the cedar, the clear White' of the holly, the rich, dark brown of the walnut rivalled the painter's art, and another trophy was borne away by nature. I felt proud of the State of my adoption. I could see m that cabinet, as any one else could see, possibilities of which we have as yet a very inadequate conception. A million times over that exquisite piece of workxnan ship could be reproduced in Arkansas, and 'yet her forests' would stand well nigh as they now stand, thick; loftyf'and umbrageous, an invitation to the capital of 'other States, and a sure reward for 'the industry of the mechanic.'

Excerpt: ...THE EXCURSION ' At nine o'clock P. x. the " pencil-shovers " gathered at the depot of the Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad, where we found a train, consisting of five Pull-_ man cars and one day coach, placed at our disposal for five 'days. Being assigned luxurious quarters we started for the Southwest. On the morning of the-_ 29th, on rubbing our eyes, we found that we were actually "Arkansas Travellers," whether we had learned the " turn of the tune " or not. At the State line a little village has recently sprung up and been christened Moark. The Times man exclaimed "Jerusha, what a name!" but Col. Mills informed us it signified two great States bound together, "Mo." "Ark." At Walnut Ridge, a village of 200 inhabitants, we breakfasted. Here was a young black bear that took a decided liking to the Times man, but he kept outof its way much easier than he could have done after the Little Rock banquet. The country from Moark to Little Rock, 160 miles, is level and heavily timbered with poplar, oak and gum. A part of the way walnut and ash are abundant, and a few pine trees. It is intersected by the Little Red, White and, Black rivers, all of them navigable half the year. Along these streams the coun try is well improved, cotton, corn and wheat being the chief products. This is a. ' Back from the _ magnificent fruit country, apples and peaches never failing. streams the country is wild, and lands can be bought for from $1.50 to $3 per acre, on long time. Towns are springing up on this railroad as by magic._ A large Northern population is found here, and trains are filled with men from Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, prospecting for good lands and a...

Download or read book Arkansas Arkansaw written by Brooks Blevins and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do Scott Joplin, John Grisham, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Maya Angelou, Brooks Robinson, Helen Gurley Brown, Johnny Cash, Alan Ladd, and Sonny Boy Williamson have in common? They’re all Arkansans. What do hillbillies, rednecks, slow trains, bare feet, moonshine, and double-wides have in common? For many in America these represent Arkansas more than any Arkansas success stories do. In 1931 H. L. Mencken described AR (not AK, folks) as the “apex of moronia.” While, in 1942 a Time magazine article said Arkansas had “developed a mass inferiority complex unique in American history.” Arkansas/Arkansaw is the first book to explain how Arkansas’s image began and how the popular culture stereotypes have been perpetuated and altered through succeeding generations. Brooks Blevins argues that the image has not always been a bad one. He discusses travel accounts, literature, radio programs, movies, and television shows that give a very positive image of the Natural State. From territorial accounts of the Creole inhabitants of the Mississippi River Valley to national derision of the state’s triple-wide governor’s mansion to Li’l Abner, the Beverly Hillbillies, and Slingblade, Blevins leads readers on an entertaining and insightful tour through more than two centuries of the idea of Arkansas. One discovers along the way how one state becomes simultaneously a punch line and a source of admiration for progressives and social critics alike. Winner, 2011 Ragsdale Award

Download or read book Town and Country written by John Graves and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 1990-02-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoroughly researched and extensively documented look at race relations in Arkansas druing the forty years after the Civil War, Town and Country focuses on the gradual adjustment of black and white Arkansans to the new status of the freedman, in both society and law, after generations of practicing the racial etiquette of slavery. John Graves examines the influences of the established agrarian culture on the developing racial practices of the urban centers, where many blacks living in the towns were able to gain prominence as doctors, lawyers, successful entrepreneurs, and political leaders. Despite the tension, conflict, and disputes within and between the voice of the government and the voice of the people in an arduous journey toward compromise, Arkansas was one of the most progressive states during Reconstruction in desegregating its people. Town and Country makes a significant contribution to the history of the postwar South and its complex engagement with the race issue.
