When Union soldiers returned North after the Civil War, they
brought home stories of a sparsely populated area with bountiful
timber and potential for homes and farms. Over the next 50 years,
first by wagon train and then by railroads, settlers came to build
not only homes and farms but also thriving communities in the Clay,
Greene, and Craighead counties of northeastern Arkansas. Today,
visitors and residents of the area see the bustle of Jonesboro and
the thriving Arkansas State University. Readers of Jonesboro and
Arkansas' Historic Northeast Corner will discover Jonesboro as it
lived a century ago, a promising town of 7,000 citizens. As the
20th Century opened, modern and attractive towns such as Corning,
Piggott, Rector, and Paragould began to thrive. The evolution of
these historic areas-from slow-paced villages with dirt roads and
horse-drawn wagons to the bustling towns of the late 20th
century-is chronicled in this Images of America edition.
