All About Searcy County, Arkansas: History, Folklore and Random Trivia - Paperback

All About Searcy County Arkansas: History, Folklore and Random Trivia is a fun book that explores a rural Arkansan county which has a deep history spanning back more than ten thousand years, and a rich culture--and more than a little mystery. Discover the challenges that confronted the earliest European settlers. See how bushwackers left the county in lawless ruin at the close of the Civil War, and how a railroad shaped the destiny of an entire region. Within are tales of an ancient silver mine, lost since the days of the Spanish Conquistadors, of a town that banded together to save its saloon from the might of the flooding Bufallo River, and of a hideous monster said to lurk in caves, haunting the hills and woods of Searcy County for centuries. Not only is this book an entertaining and insightful read, but sales help fund childhood literacy projects in Searcy County, through Terrapin Hollow Educational Foundation.
