It's excellent reading (historical novel) from junior high up about the heroics of Capt. John Cecil, also one of the first sheriffs of Newton Co., AR. He was a Confederate Robin Hood of sorts for the war-torn hill people and ravaged countryside. They constantly lived in fear of renegade "bushwhackers" and Yankee soldiers alike. Many true tales of brother against brother help us appreciate that historical time and the pioneers of today's luxurious life. Most of the real family names used were Harp, Villines and Cecil. As far as I know it's only available from the Newton Co. Historical Soc. in Jasper. It's a paperback for $10. Their address is on the Newton Co. Web page under www.usgenweb.com. Excellent reading!
