Truth is quirkier than fiction in this romp through the history of one unforgettable town. Millions of tourists know Eureka Springs, Arkansas, as a charming Victorian village. Far fewer have heard these sixty too-crazy-to-make-up tales of colorful characters who have trodden its wildly uneven streets.
- How did a skin rash lead to the town's founding?
- Why did local saloons post signs saying "All Nations Welcome Except Carrie"?
- Did the Crescent Hotel really have a morgue in its basement?
- How did a historic Black neighborhood completely vanish?
- What local farm product put the city on outlaw country musicians' tour schedules?
- Why do hundreds of UFO researchers converge on the town every April?
- Where is the best place in town to see a Bigfoot?
- And how did a remote backwoods hamlet become a haven for hippies, bikers, the gay community, and a seven-story Jesus statue?
Find out as you discover the other side of the Ozarks!
Jude Gaillot is board president of the nonprofit Writers' Colony at Dairy Hollow in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
