A Family Migration,
This review is from: THEY SOUGHT A LAND: A SETTLEMENT IN THE ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY (Hardcover)
An excellent overview of the migration of several families from North Carolina to the area of the Arkansas River Valley around what is now Russellville, Arkansas. It was written, by the way, by a descendant of my Great Great Grandfather's younger brother. It is a story, based on historical facts, of a large extended family, how they lived, what they believed, the challenges they faced and how they overcame them. I found it very interesting.. but then, it's my family!
