Book Description

Excerpt from 1833 Reconstructed Census of Scott County, Arkansas To reconstruct the census of Scott County, Arkansas for the year of its creation is an impossibility and therefore an absurdity. With that statement out of the way, I hasten to say that to attempt that task is far better than letting it lie in limbo, so I will undertake the job.
