One 1.5- mile stretch with eroding creekbanks is dumping 10,000 tons of sediment into the Kings each year. Meanwhile, people living on Rockhouse Road have endured life-threatening delays in emergency response because the low-water crossing over the creek is often flooded and impassable. Nadara and Wayne Williams lived on 550 acres along this section of Rockhouse Creek. With a desire to help the creek and see their serenely beautiful property conserved, Work to heal the creekbanks along Rockhouse Creek will begin this winter. the Williamses sold it to the Conservancy at a deep discount.

Charles Bolton August 2006 Midwest Regional Office Organization of National Park Service American Historians U.S. Department of the Interior P.O. Box 5457 Omaha, Nebraska Bloomington, Indiana On the Cover: "St. Louis," steel engraving by Frederick Hawkins Piercy. From the Overland Trails Collection, Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University. Foreword Public Law 105-203, the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Act of 1988, directs the National Park Service (NPS) to commemorate, honor, and interpret the history of the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad—the resistance to enslavement through escape and flight, through the end of the Civil War—refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage. Wherever slavery existed, there were efforts to escape, at first, to maroon communities in rugged terrain away from settled areas, and later across state and international borders. While most began and completed their journeys unassisted, each subsequent decade in which slavery was legal in the United States saw an increase in active efforts to assist escape. The decision to assist a freedom seeker may have been spontaneous. However, in some places, particularly after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, the Underground Railroad was deliberate and organized. Freedom seekers went in many directions – Canada, Mexico, Indian Territory, the West, Caribbean islands and Europe.

  • Chancellor, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff SALARY
    THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS AT PINE BLUFF THE POSITION: Chancellor, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff SALARY: Competitive THE ORGANIZATION: Since its inception, the University of Arkansas System has developed a tradition of excellence that includes the state’s 1871 flagship, land-grant research university; Arkansas’s premier institution for medical education, treatment and research; a major metropolitan university; an 1890 land-grant university; two regional universities serving southern and western Arkansas; five community colleges; two schools of law; a presidential school; a residential math and science high school; and divisions of agriculture, archeology and criminal justice. The individual entities of the UA System maintain cooperative strength as well as diverse offerings that exhibit unmatched economic and social impact to the state. The UA System provides communities in Arkansas with access to academic and professional opportunities, develops intellectual growth and cultural awareness in its students and provides knowledge and research skills to an ever-changing society. The system enrolls more than 70,000 students, employs over 17,000 employees, and has a total budget of over $2 billion. An intrinsic part of the texture and fabric of Arkansas, the UA System is a driving force in the state’s economic, educational and cultural advancement. The Arkansas General Assembly established the university in Fayetteville in 1871 as the Arkansas Industrial University, and under the Morrill Act of 1862, it became the state land-grant institution and first state-assisted college in Arkansas. On opening day, January 22, 1873, there were four teachers and eight students. Arkansas Industrial University became the University of Arkansas in 1899, reflecting the institution’s broadened academic mission.

  • Agricultural Water Management in the Mississippi Delta Region of Arkansas
    Agricultural Water Management in the Mississippi Delta Region of Arkansas H. Don Scott, James A. Ferguson, Linda Hanson, Todd Fugitt and Earl Smith ARKANSAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION Division of Agriculture University of Arkansas August 1998 Research Bulletin 959 IMPACT STATEMENT Agriculture is the largest use of soil and water resources in eastern Arkan- sas. This bulletin summarized the recent historical use of soil and water by agriculture and the impact of irrigation on yields of rice, soybeans and cotton. The experiments conducted in the field to quantitatively schedule irrigations of crops are summarized. The results show the close relationship between the irrigation of crops and the extraction of water from the Alluvial Aquifer. The implications of this relationaship for the future are discussed. Key words: ground water, soils, crops, landuses, irrigation. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Appreciation is expressed to several individuals who greatly assisted the authors in writing this document. Marty McKimmey and Barnali Mitra of the Department of Agronomy, University of Arkansas, Division of Agriculture helped with the development of the digital databases and maps of the various para- meters and relationships. Larry Ward and Rick Fielder of the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Little Rock provided helpful information on the soils in eastern Arkansas and the Mid-South region. Thanks are also given to the graduate students in the Departments of Agronomy and Biological and Agricul- tural Engineering who conducted many of the research studies as a portion of their graduate degree program at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. Dr. Nancy Wyatt served as the editor. The Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion and the Arkansas Soil and Water Conservation Commission provided the publication costs, and the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board and the Arkan- sas Rice Research and Promotion Board funded much of the research.
