I've just finished uploading, to the Desha County ARGenWeb site, transcripts of the Desha County History and Biographical sections from BIOLOGICAL & HISTORICAL MEMOIRS OF SOUTHERN ARKANSAS (1890). Anyone who is interested in the early years of this area will want to log-on and read these accounts. I believe you will find them interesting.
