Historian Sandy Selby has curated this delightful and insightful book that offers a new look at the history of the National Historic Landmark village of Arrow Rock, Missouri. Using newspaper accounts, personal correspondence, meeting minutes, and diary entries, Selby offers a unique history of the popular tourist town. Readers will enjoy a more personal connection with the residents of early Arrow Rock as they follow the happenings in town. Some of the stories included are laugh-out-loud funny, and others are tragic reminders of the challenges faced by settlers on the western frontier in the 1800s. The book includes original drawings, created in woodcut style, that help readers navigate through some of the most common recurring themes in the book, including the town's quest for a railroad, and shocking crimes that were the talk of the town.
