Sentinels of History was conceived of as a way to mark the turn of
the millennium by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. This
generously illustrated book contains thirty-nine essays, each of
which showcases an important Arkansas site and is written by a
noted authority. Also included is a location map for these sites
and a full appendix providing location information, county by
county, for the more than two thousand surviving properties in
Arkansas (as of June 1999) that appear on the National Register.
The essays are as wide-ranging as Roger Kennedy's placement of the
Toltec Mounds at the time of Charlemagne, Donald Harington's
sensitive look at the "bigeminal" architecture of the Wolf dogtrot
cabin, and Neff Compton's egalitarian tribute to the Boxley Valley
Historic District on the Buffalo National River.
At least one current color photo of the site and one historic
image are included with each essay. In addition, illustrations of
the locations or structures listed in the appendix are scattered
throughout sections. In all, Sentinels of History serves as a
lavish inventory of historic properties in Arkansas at the end of
the twentieth century.
