A collection of short stories based on
Arkansas history is being published by the Central Arkansas Library

stories on different aspects of life in Arkansas. Settings range
from Indian settlements dating from prehistoric times to the
Northern migration of the 1930s and `40s.
The book, "Bears, Bandits, and Backaches," complements a
middle school textbook on Arkansas history, and the fictionalized
stories are based on events in the text. The stories include main
characters who are children to help students identify with the
times they are learning about.

Butler Center for twelve dollars.
