Book Description
Excerpt from Lawrence County, Arkansas: A Concise and Truthful Description of This Banner County of Northeast Arkansas To those who are struggling to make both ends meet by renting the worn-out farms of the middle Northern or South eastern States, and who yearly see the proceeds of their scanty crops go to pay rents, with scarcely enough left to clothe their families' To those who are tired of the blizzard-swept regions of the Northwest, and the parched and arid regions of what was once known as the Great American Desert, and desire a milder and more congenial climate, where the soil is productive, where the winters are short and mild, where the problem of obtaining fuel and timber is not encountered, and the water supply is abundant: To the capitalist who desires to invest his money in safe, sure and profitable enterprises, where rich mines are awaiting development, where superior advantages are offered to all lines of manufacturing, unsurpassed water power, cheap timber, and the control of the Southwestern market: To all who are honest and willing to work and who desire to get along in the world - to the man with capital, to the man with muscle, to the farmer, to the merchant, to the stock raiser, to the fruit grower, to the miller, to the mechanic, to the lumberman, to the school teacher, to the clerk, to the laboring man, to the health and pleasure seeker and the sportsman - to all who wish to obtain a good home, wealth, happiness and comfort' this pamphlet, ON the resources OF lawrence county, arkansas, IS dedicated.

Book Description
220 pages with 56 total maps Locating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Lawrence County, Arkansas, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s. What's Mapped in this book (that you'll not likely find elsewhere) . . . 1761 Parcels of Land (with original landowner names and patent-dates labeled in the relevant map) 70 Cemeteries plus . . . Roads, and existing Rivers, Creeks, Streams, Railroads, and Small-towns (including some historical), etc. What YEARS are these maps for? Here are the counts for parcels of land mapped, by the decade in which the corresponding land patents were issued: DecadeParcel-count 1820s424 1830s114 1840s118 1850s596 1860s266 1870s52 1880s102 1890s130 1900s88 1910s69 1920s15 What Cities and Towns are in Lawrence County, Arkansas (and in this book)?
