THE MORE THINGS REALLY CHANGE...
I LIVE HERE! (OKLAHOMA) I WAS BORN IN ARKANSAS. MY ANCESTORS LIVED IN LEE CREEK, ARKANSAS. THEY ALMOST
CERTAINLY KNEW MR. NUTTALL AND PROVIDED HIM WITH A PLACE TO STAY! WE HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE THE 1700'S.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD JOURNAL/ NARRATIVE OF HIS TRIP WEST. ANOTHER IS WASHINGTON IRVING'S TRIP THROUGH THE SAME AREA " A TOUR OF THE PRAIRIES"). AND OF COURSE LEWIS AND CLARK.
NUTTALL RECORDED WEATHER DATA AND CONDITIONS. THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME TODAY!

GET THIS TO READ ABOUT AN ERA IN AMERICAN LONG GONE. GET OUT A MAP AND FIND HIGHWAY 59 ON THE ARKANSAS BORDER. THAT'S THE FIRST ROAD EVER IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY BUILT BY THE US ARMY. BEFORE THAT YOU USED RIVERS OR ROAD HORSEBACK! MY ANCESTORS USED THE ROAD TO MIGRATE TO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND SETTLE THERE.

WE TAKE SO MUCH FOR GRANTED TODAY. TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO THINGS WERE VERY DIFFERENT.

A true adventure
This is the journal of Thomas Nuttall who, in 1819, with $200 and a residual case of malaria,traveled from Philadelphia down the Ohio and the Mississippi to the Arkansas River and various of its tributaries.Hisjourney extended as far west as the current site of Oklahoma City. Hisaccount of the plant and animal life, the geology and the streams ofArkansas and eastern Oklahoma are accurate, jargon-free and, in many cases,still definitive.His portrayals of the European and Native Americans hemet are objective, unsentimental and unprejudiced.Througout theconsiderable dangers and difficulties he faced, he maintained, andconveyed, a refreshing sense of wonder at the natural world he explored, anattitude of realistic compassion for the people he encountered and a senseof the historical significance of what he witnessed. The journals arewell-edited by Prof. Lottinville whose notes identify sites described byMr. Nuttall with their current names and provide historical context forvarious events discussed in the book. This book is a great find for anyoneinterested in the land, history and people of Arkansas and Oklahoma.

One of the most definitive sources of Quapaw Indian culture

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Arkansas," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Arkansas in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Arkansas when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Arkansas, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
