Excerpt: ... ern part of Pulaski County, the location being convenient to the main line of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The purchase was made in 1919, though the institution was not opened until early in the year 1920. Oil Discovered In Arkansas (1920). Oil was discovered first in commercial quantities in Arkansas on April 10, 1920. The well, in which it was found, was drilled by S. Hunter, of Shreveport, Louisiana. Thus it was known as the "Hunter Discovery Well." Its exact location is described as "on the S E)4 of the N EX of Section 13, Twp. 15 S., Range 19 W." The town of Stephens, in Ouachita county, is situated near the well. Mr Hunter had been given leases on something like 20,000 acres in the vicinity of Stephens as an inducement to drill the well. While this particular well was never worked as a producer of oil in commercial quantities, enough was bailed from it to prove that the oil was there in paying quantities. Mr. Hunter, at all events, succeeded immediately in selling most of his acreage, including the well, to the Standard Oil Company for $800,000 in cash and a guarantee of $1,000,000. "from the sale of the first oil produced from the said leases." However, the Standard has never drilled another well on this acreage. The second oil well was drilled by the White Oil Corporation about eight miles southwest of El Dorado. It "came in" on December 23, 1920, with a daily flow of twenty-five barrels. But the Arkansas oil boom really had its beginning with the completion of the Mitchell & Busey well, which "came in" on January 10, 1921, with a daily production estimated at ten thousand barrels. Arkansas first appeared in the reports of the United States Geological Survey as an oil producing state in March, 1921, with 10,000 barrels as the...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The High Lights of Arkansas History There is in the history of the State of Arkansas no want of the sort of material which makes for a ﬂavor of individuality. In the choice of things chosen for this narration of events - chosen and arranged to tell the story of the growth of enterprise and what not wrought in Arkansas in the space of nearly four centuries since the time of Desoto - the aim has been to choose those things which have made the history of Arkansas different which give it its ﬂavor of interest quite its own. But last, and first also - first as the motive for playing up the high lights of the history of Arkansas like street lights, hung one at every street corner, that those who pass may see the way plainly - the story of Arkansas is told here step by step, one thing at a time and everything in the order of its doing, each as something done apart from the many other processes helping always to make the complex story of life and growth complete, so that any who should like such a work may have by him a handy manual of the really significant facts concerning the his tory of the State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ADOPTED BY THE STATE OF ARKANSAS FOR 2003. Once again, the State of Arkansas has adopted An Arkansas History for Young People as an official textbook for junior-high-school-Arkansas-history classes. This third edition incorporates the fruits of new research and of extensive consultations with teachers, curriculum supervisors, and students themselves. It includes many new features while preserving popular and useful aspects of previous editions. This edition has an entirely new format, clear and friendly to the student reader. The text has been re-set in double-column pages, with wider margins and more white space setting off text and illustrations. A preview section at the beginning of each chapter (What to Look For) and study questions at the end now guide students' reading. Vocabulary words appear in boldface in the text and then are listed with definitions at the end of each chapter. The updated text incorporates new material on the Clinton presidency, the Huckabee governorship, term limits, the 2000 census, demographic changes, recent scholarship on Arkansas history, updated terminology, and corrections of factual errors. Sidebars still highlight special material, and the many illustrations appear in full color and in black and white.

Book excerpt: Distilled from Arkansas: A Narrative History, the definitive work on the subject since its original publication in 2002, Arkansas: A Concise History is a succinct one-volume history of the state from the prehistory period to the present. Featuring four historians, each bringing his or her expertise to a range of topics, this volume introduces readers to the major issues that have confronted the state and traces the evolution of those issues across time. After a brief review of Arkansas’s natural history, readers will learn about the state’s native populations before exploring the colonial and plantation eras, early statehood, Arkansas’s entry into and role in the Civil War, and significant moments in national and global history, including Reconstruction, the Gilded Age, the Progressive Era, the Elaine race massacre, the Great Depression, both world wars, and the Civil Rights Movement. Linking these events together, Arkansas: A Concise History offers both an understanding of the state’s history and a perspective on that history’s implications for the political, economic, and social realities of today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight years in the making, Arkansas Biography brings to light the lives of those who have helped shape Arkansas history for over four hundred years. Featured are not only the trailblazers, such as steamboat captain Henry Shreve, Olympic gold medalist Bill Carr, discount mogul Sam Walton, and aviator Louise Thaden, but also those whose lives reflect their culture and times--musicians, scientists, teachers, preachers, and journalists. One hundred and eighty contributors--professional and avocational historians--offer clear vignettes of nearly three hundred individuals, beginning with Hernando de Soto, who crossed the Mississippi River in the summer of 1540. The entries include birth and death dates and places, life and career highlights, lineage, anecdotes, and source material. This is a browser's book with an Arkansas voice. The wealth of information condensed into this single reference volume will be valuable to general readers of all ages, libraries, museums, and scholars. A fitting summary at the turn of a millennium, Arkansas Biography pays lasting tribute to the men and women who have enriched the life and character of the state and, by extension, the region and the nation.

Four distinguished scholars cover prehistoric Arkansas, the colonial period, and the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and incorporate the newest historiography to bring the book up to date for 2012. A new chapter on Arkansas geography, new material on the civil rights movement and the struggle over integration, and an examination of the state’s transition from a colonial economic model to participation in the global political economy are included. Maps are also dramatically enhanced, and supplemental teaching materials are available. “No less than the first edition, this revision of Arkansas: A Narrative History is a compelling introduction for those who know little about the state and an insightful survey for others who wish to enrich their acquaintance with the Arkansas past.” —Ben Johnson, from the Foreword
