As a pictorial narrative, this book offers the reader a glimpse into the diverse life experiences of the residents of Dardanelle, Arkansas, and the adjacent agricultural region known as the Bottoms from 1880 to 1980. These photographs depict an enterprising, usually courageous, sometimes rowdy people and their world. From Dardanelle businesses to the Bottoms cotton, this world was filled with strength, tragedy, and beauty. The contours of the lives these photographs reveal expand the historical record and understanding of a world now largely gone.
