Description: Beyond the River: Stories of Life Near the Arkansas by Bill M Ward. ----- CONDITION ----- This book is in excellent condition. Binding is solid, no loose pages. There are no markings, no highlights, no folded pages or tears. On the front cover there is a watermark....I think. I couldn't find another copy of this book online to compare. I am pretty sure it is missing a dust jacket. All imperfections are pictured. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, or make an offer! Beyond the River: Stories of Life Near the Arkansas by Bill M WardThis book is introduced by one one river in particular, the third longest in the United States. Formed in the Rocky Mountains and flowing through four states before emptying into the Mississippi, the Arkansas River today is enjoyed by a wide variety of people. In its upper reaches, fly fishermen fight for positions to go for cutthroat and other trout. A little further down, kayakers enjoy fast flowing white-water rapids. In fact, Colorado has embraced the river by creating the longest public park in the country ---- Arkansas Headwaters State Park --- which is maintained by the state along its nearly 100-mile journey before it enters Kansas. The Quapaw Indians, mostly from Arkansas, gave us the river's name. Reach about that in the first pages of the book, including how the river was finally tamed. Stories of life on either side of the river are told, some from long ago and some rather recent. Stories of war heroes; a seven-year-old girl's three week survival on a raft in the South Atlantic; Arkansans who have made it big on stage and screen; an elephant sanctuary; an 800-foot (and growing) rock wall built with no mortar; Winthrop Rockefeller and his impact on his adopted state; how pure mountain music changed a town forever, and one native son who made it all the way to the top -- President of the United States. Really --- the book is about life.
