Arkansas County History Books (Bundle)

Description: Books included within this bundle: A Village in Time: An Oral History of Okay, Arkansas by Margaret Ponder ThompsonISBN: 0-87483-513-5First EditionPublished 1997 by August House Publishers, INC - Little Rock "This book is a collection of stories gathered from three generations who lived in the small industrial village of Okay, Arkansas at some time during its sixty-plus years of existence. These stories are important for a number of reasons. First, they provide historians, sociologists, anthropologists and other professionals with interesting and useful information concerning the effects of industrialization on the lives of ordinary people living in a remote section of southwest Arkansas between the late 1920s and early 1990s. Second, the stories tell people about themselves, and it is the author's belief one can only know himself or herself after realizing the impact the past has on the present. Third, the stories are important because they bring pleasure to people: people who often yearn for a day out of yesteryear; people who listen carefully for the sound of children playing in the street and a shrill, tinny whistle at midnight on New Year's Eve; people who still glance towards the sky in hopes of seeing a narrow band of grey smoke widen and bob in the wind like a kite as it passes through the atmosphere, never giving thought to pollution." History of the Little Rock Wastewater Utilityby Carol GriffeeISBN: 0-914546-96-3Published 1994 by Little Rock Wastewater Utility "This book chronicles the history of the system and the people who made it possible, including recollections of humorous moments and scary close calls.
