Synopsis

Arkansas Backstories gathers dozens of short, standalone essays about the quirks and characters of Arkansas history, written by Joe David Rice during his long tenure as the state's director of tourism. Each piece is a self-contained true story — an eccentric local figure, an unusual historical event, a curious landmark — meant to be read a few at a time rather than cover to cover.

Together they build a portrait of the state's history through its margins and footnotes rather than its textbook narrative.
