SOME HISTORY ABOUT ARKANSAS BY A
13 YEAR OLD BOY OF SUTTON SCHOOL

Arkansas was discovered by
DeSota in l541. The next to en-
ter Arkansas was Father Mar
quette who came in 1911, a hun
dred and thirty yearsafter De-
! Sofa. La Sale and Henri De-
Ponti entered Arkansas in 1704.
They established trading along
the rivers 50 they could trade
with tn Indians.
In 1865 ;he United States
bought from France what was
then called louisiana "a vast ter
ritory west o. the Mississippi
river. Arkansas was included in
that territory.
The territory of Arkansas was
organized in 1919. The capital
was at Arkansas Post. James
Miller was made the first COVER
nor and Robert Crittenden, the
first Secretary. The capital re-
NAMED at Arkansas Post only
one year, it was then moved to
Little Rock.
For a while the territorial legis-
lature held it's session in the old
Baptist meeting house.
Dueling was very common in
Arkansas in the early days. 1t
was thought that a man should
defend himself in that way.
William E. Woodruff came to
Arkansas Post in 1919. He
brought with him a printing
press and printed the first paper
ever printed in Arkansas. He
named it The Arkansas Gazette"
When the capita was moved to
Little Rock he went there The
paper has been printed there
ever since, only a while during
the civil war
A constitution was framed in
January 1886 and sent before
congress. Arkansas was admit
ted into the Union as state
the same year.
The courts of the early days
were sometimes held in the back
of a store or in a church and the
jury had to get under a tree to
decide the case. If there w a
anyone around, who knew any
thing about the case and had not
been brought before the cou t
they woul | go and get them.
In the early days Arkansas
didn't have good schools The
sch93f houses were made of logs
1ni te benches were made of
SPIT Iogs without a back.
When the Southern States Sc
ceded from the Union, Arkansas
went with them. She seeded
in 1861
Arkansas furnished m any
brave soldiers and generals.
When the states were forced
back into the union, Arkansas
was governed for several years
by men who came from the North.
These men were called carpet
baggers because they carried all
they had in a carpet bag. They
were not very good rulers. They
would allow negroes to vote
when white men were deprived
of that right.
The people organ lied secret
societies called ku kluX klan.
They would disguise themselves.
go around at night and punish
the negroes if they did wrong.
They would sometime visit car
pet Dagger.
The carpet-bag government
was finally overthrown and the
right government was again es-
tablished.
The is now progressing nicely.
1t has fine schools, good court
houses, institutions for the blind
and deaf mute. The state house.
