Hello, and welcome to this web page.  My name is Joel Jones and I attend theArkansas School for Mathematics and Sciences.  I am making the web page for my American
Studies Class taught by Neal Gibson and George West.  This web page is designed so that
an eighth grade student that is needing to write a fairly well sized paper can come to
this page and leave with enough information to write their paper in its entirety.  If
you have any comments please e-mail me.  All information was obtained from the Arkansas
Gazette through the Arkansas Historical Society Archives.
