The story of Arkansas, as told here, is a story of the dramatic impact of a migrating southern and eastern culture upon a roaring western frontier. Fletcher recognizes the fun and humor long associated with Arkansas--comic anecdote, boisterous wit, tall tale, heavy satire--but he also tells the hard historic facts, and the result is something new in frontier epic.
