cd: index to the arkansas general land office, 1820-1907, volumes 1-10
Now on CD-ROM! Arkansas was explored by Europeans as early as 1541, with Hernando DeSoto blazing the trails, and again in 1673, when French explorer La Salle claimed the wilderness in the name of France. In 1762 France ceded the area to Spain, and Americans began settling in the Arkansas area in 1783. In 1803, it finally became U.S. territory, requiring residents to file claims with the government in order to prove legal ownership of the land. These volumes contain abstracts of land transactions over an 87-year span, and consist of information such as purchasers name, legal description and location of the land, the amount of land in acres, the county, and date of purchase. Each preface reveals sources to the original records, providing even more leads. Names are listed alphabetically and are thus easy to find.

index to the arkansas general land office, 1820-1907, volume 6: covering: hempstead, howard, nevada and little river counties
Arkansas was explored by Europeans as early as 1541, with Hernado DeSoto blazing the trail, and again in 1673, when the French explorer LaSalle claimed the wilderness in the name of France. France ceded the region to Spain in 1762, and Americans began settling in the Arkansas area in 1783. The US acquired this territory with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, requiring residents to file claims with the government in order to prove legal ownership of the land. Between 1820 and 1906, over 15,000 claims were submitted to the General Land Office for the counties of Hempstead, Howard, Little River and Nevada. Land was sometimes available for as little as 1.25 an acre, and parcels of land were frequently made available for open bidding. This index is an excellent resource for the genealogist, containing abstracts of land transactions over an 87-year span which provide such information as purchasers name, legal description and location of the land purchased, acreage of land purchased, county and date of purchase. Entries are listed alphabetically by surname. Contact information is provided in the preface for obtaining access to the original records.

map: arkansas 1853
Map for Arkansas originally issued in 1853 by H. Phelps and Company for inclusion in Fannings Illustrated Gazetteer of the United States. These state and city maps were the first octavo size maps designed specifically for a United States gazetteer. Each state map shows county names and boundaries, many towns and prominent geographic features. City maps show most streets and, where indicated, the most important ward boundaries. Ideal for the instructor and field researcher alike, these maps were originally designed to show the county divisions of each state at the time of the 1850 census, a critical time for the genealogist. The maps are slightly enlarged and reproduced on heavyweight paper and can be placed in a binder.
