"A uniquely prosaic historic account of "cities" that were never cities or were barely really cities throughout Arkansas. Rambling and almost random-seeming but full of interesting local history and stories. This book is really unlike anything you're ever likely to read. It is probably my second favorite Harington book after the Architecture of the Ozarks (a Novel). This is not a novel but reads like one."
