| Synopsis: |
Like a well-planned time capsule, "Arkansas" is a fascinating picture of the state s evolution: from a wilderness explored by Hernando de Soto to a rowdy and often lawless frontier, a partner in the shameful dislocation of Native Americans, a state in the Confederacy, a source of homegrown populists, and always a land of opportunity.As Harry S. Ashmore states in his introduction to this third volume of the John Gould Fletcher Series, "Arkansas" still stands up as its author intended, a poet s imaginative treatment of a history both tragic and comic with its deep legendary roots going far back into the remote prehistoric past. It has earned a permanent place among the books that must be read by those who seek to understand the matrix in which new forces of economic and social change are reshaping Arkansas s traditional society.
