History of Western Arkansas.

This book is divided into two main sections. The first talks about or discusses the early history of the western portion of the state. While the second section is devoted to Biographical Sketches of approximately 800 individuals and 3,200 other families listed in these sketches. Considering the original publication of this title back in 1891, the researcher will discover that many if not most of these families go back two or three generations which means that these family sketches can go back as far as the mid 1700's. Counties covered are: Conway, Johnson, Logan, Montgomery, Polk, Pope, Scott, and Yell. The New Index that was created for this reprint mentions over 15,000 names.
In this volume, the History of Conway County, AR plus the Biographical Sketches of the county were included too. In the original 1891 edition Conway was left out but SHP, inc. with the help of some very knowledgeable librarians have located and included Goodspeeds left out county. A new index was completed for this section also. So please be aware that there are two indexes in this book to cover the original section plus the new section that covers Conway County, AR
