After the first sighting of "la petite roche” on the banks of the
Arkansas River by French explorer Bernard de la Harpe in 1772,
Little Rock grew from a few families living in small log cabins
into a thriving capital city with a population of more than
184,000. The city has weathered everything from catastrophic floods
to a school integration crisis, yet through good times and bad
retains its small-town charm, Southern hospitality, and connections
to the past. From the Civil War to Central High
School, Historic Photos of Little Rock follows life,
government, education, and events throughout the city’s history.
Published in vivid black-and-white, nearly two hundred images
communicate historic events and the everyday life of two centuries
of people building a unique and flourishing metropolis, which has
become the governmental and cultural center of the state of
Arkansas.
