Written by Local Scholars,

This review is from: A Documentary History of Arkansas (Paperback)
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.
