5.0 out of 5 stars The History of CRAIGHEAD COUNTY Arkansas, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The history of Craighead County, Arkansas (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book for geneology buffs that was written by a Craighead County native and copyrighted in 1930. It covers the time period before Arkansas was a state and includes sections of Craighead County history that include the people who settled and developed this county up until the time that he wrote the book.

This book also contains chapters of information about the growth of the county and about towns and villages, cemeteries, churches, schools, civil and world wars plus many other informing and amusing stories about Craighead County.

It is an excellent source of information for historians and people searching their ancestry. It also includes a "Who's Who" section of prominent citizens and also has an excellent index that was added in 1977 that allows for easier research of names.
