Quapaw Line Trail QUAPAW LINE TRAIL A Downtown Little Rock Adventure Dedicated February 1967 In 1967, members of Boy Scout Troop 358, led by Dr. Joseph Randle Luten Jr., created a walking route of just over ten-miles they named the Quapaw Line Trail. It toured historic sites and took about six hours to walk. Then-Mayor Martin Borchert spoke at a dedication in MacArthur Park. The trail route today is very similar to the 1967 route, but some route changes have occurred to accommodate the ever-changing urban landscape. History continues to be made in Little Rock and accordingly, new historical points of interest have been added to the Trail that did not exist at the time of its inception. It is with purpose we maintain the Quapaw Line Trail to remember and celebrate the treasured past, the architecture and the beauty of the City of Little Rock and the State of Arkansas. Please note that due to construction and other constraints, access to some markers may be prohibited. You will be passing many historical points of interest that could significantly delay your return. Please consider making a return visit later. Also consider that these points of interest and traffic that you may encounter could require more time than a traditional ten-mile hike. It is likely that you will travel 12-13 miles over the course of the Trail, and you should allow 5 – 6 hours to complete. Over 90% of the Trail is on sidewalks or pavement, so comfortable walking shoes are a must. Also, much of the Trail receives direct sun exposure at all hours so remember sunscreen. Water is also a must as there are few opportunities for water along the route. Do the best that you can in answering the following questions as you enjoy your hike. Also, note the point of reference in direction. Some will reference the corner of the intersection while others will note the corner of property in reference. Both will use compass notation (i.e., Southeast corner of the intersection versus the Northwest corner of the property are the same). Directions are in plain text and all questions are designated in BOLD text. You should have a compass and writing instrument. Consider earning the Arkansas Heritage Award along this hike as there are several historical sites along the route and the opportunity to cover facts and historical information about the state. More information can be found at Page 10 of this packet or at https://www.quapawbsa.org/patch/arkansas- heritage-award/. It should also be noted that completion this trail is one of the requirements for the Historical Trails Award - https://www.scouting.org/awards/awards-central/historic-trails/. The Beginning of the Trail is at the top of the steps to the entrance of the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History(1) in MacArthur Park.

  • Old Tiler Talks
    Old Tiler Talks Carl H. Claudy 1925 Originally published in 1925 By The Masonic Service Association Of the United States of America Converted to text by Bro. Carl Johnson Converted to PDF & eBook by Bro. Ron Blaisdell, PM January 28, 2001 AL 6001 FOREWORD (1949) "The Old Tiler first appeared in print in August, 1921 when the first of four hundred and fourteen "Old Tiler Talks" were printed in the Fellowship Forum, a fraternal newspaper published in Washington, D.C. In 1925 the publisher asked the author to select a few of the best of the talks and thirty-one were accordingly made into a little volume, copyrighted that year. The book, which sold for a dollar, ran into two editions of five thousand copies each. By the time they were all sold the Fellowship Forum ran head on into the depression and disappeared and with it the Old Tiler. His homely philosophy, sharp tongue and common sense, however, had made a place for him in the hearts of readers; demand for the book has never ceased, although it has lessened in the twenty-four years since the Old Tiler first spoke from between the covers. At long last the Old Tiler sits again before the door of his lodge, there to repeat the tales which made him liked so long ago, and, from the wealth of material of his hundreds of homilies, make thirty-nine new talks to the book, a total of seventy in all. These have been roughly classified under seven headings. To offer in defense of his fanciful classification the author has no other alibi than the weak statement that the Old Tiler is himself fancy! The portrait of the Old Tiler on the jacket is the loving work of Brother Frank A.

Porter, the U.S. Congressman, first elected in 1808 to represent western New York, were leading advocates of a war of conquest against the British over Canada. Tompkins was particularly interested in recruiting and training a state militia and opening and equipping state arsenals in preparation for such a war. Normally, militiamen were obligated only for three months of duty during the War of 1812, although if the President requested, the period could be extended to a maximum of six months. When the militia was called into service by the governor or his officers, it was paid by the state. When called by the President or an officer of the U.S. Army, it was paid by the U.S. Treasury. In 1808, the United States Congress took the first steps toward federalizing state militias by appropriating $200,000 – a hopelessly inadequate sum – to arm and train citizen soldiers needed to supplement the nation’s tiny standing army.

  • Arkansas Moves Toward Secession and War
    RICE UNIVERSITY WITH HESITANT RESOLVE: ARKANSAS MOVES TOWARD SECESSION AND WAR BY JAMES WOODS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS Dr.. Frank E. Vandiver Houston, Texas ABSTRACT This work surveys the history of ante-bellum Arkansas until the passage of the Ordinance of Secession on May 6, 186i. The first three chapters deal with the social, economic, and politicai development of the state prior to 1860. Arkansas experienced difficult, yet substantial .social and economic growth during the ame-belium era; its percentage of population increase outstripped five other frontier states in similar stages of development. Its growth was nevertheless hampered by the unsettling presence of the Indian territory on its western border, which helped to prolong a lawless stage. An unreliable transportation system and a ruinous banking policy also stalled Arkansas's economic progress. On the political scene a family dynasty controlled state politics from 1830 to 186u, a'situation without parallel throughout the ante-bellum South. A major part of this work concentrates upon Arkansas's politics from 1859 to 1861. In a most important siate election in 1860, the dynasty met defeat through an open revolt from within its ranks led by a shrewd and ambitious Congressman, Thomas Hindman. Hindman turned the contest into a class conflict, portraying the dynasty's leadership as "aristocrats" and "Bourbons." Because of Hindman's support, Arkansans chose its first governor not hand¬ picked by the dynasty. By this election the people handed gubernatorial power to an ineffectual political novice during a time oi great sectional crisis.

  • Holodomor: a Remembrance
    Holodomor: A Remembrance 87th Anniversary of the Holodomor Genocide in Ukraine Art by Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak November 2020 About the Holodomor and Exhibition The month of November is a somber time for Ukrainians around the world as they commemorate the 1932-33 famine-genocide – Holodomor. Murder by starvation is the literal translation from Ukrainian and depicts the horror inflicted by Stalin and his government officials on men, women and children in a deliberate political policy of extermination. This was not a famine caused by natural factors – food was available. Yet Stalin ordered that all foodstuff and grain be expropriated in order to carry out rapid industrialization and to destroy the will of a nationally conscious Ukrainian peasantry. Millions of Ukrainians died of starvation while millions more were victims of Stalin’s bloody years of purges and repressions. This year marks the 87th anniversary of this tragedy, occurring at a time when people worldwide are suffering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with thousands dying and falling ill. Even in the midst of these very difficult times, the horrors of the past cannot be forgotten. To honor the victims of the Holodomor, a virtual slideshow depicting 26 mixed- media artworks of Houston-based Ukrainian-American artist Lydia Bodnar-Balahutrak, replaces an on-site exhibit. The artworks featured are striking, compelling and filled with an anguish that roots viewers even if one wishes to avert their eyes. This is precisely the artist’s intent – we must look in order to honor the victims and to acknowledge the past so that we can move on.
