Video: Barren Fork by Craig Ogilvie
On Sunday, July 10th, the Izard County Historical and Genealogical Society held its 2011 Summer Meeting at Mount Pleasant. The history program included an excellent presentation by noted historian and cartoonist, Craig Ogilvie, on his native Mount Pleasant. As we are continuing our mid-week Summer Series on the people and places of Izard County referencing Karr Shannon's work, A History of Izard County, the following is a video of Mr. Ogilvie's presentation: We'll see what Karr had to say about Mount Pleasant on Thursday of this week.
Note - Apologies for the sound quality. The building's cooling system was loud and there was no amplification during the program. The embedded video is a playlist. It will automatically play all 3 parts of the video. If you prefer to view each part separately, you can do so by visiting EIC TV at YouTube. ENJOY!
I know that this is a common claim people make around the world, but to me the Ozarks of Arkansas truly is God's Country! This site will be dedicated to showing anyone interested--Sunday motorists to fair-weather cyclists--some of the hidden treasures in the county they drive through.
Over the past several years, with the explosion of the popularity of custom car-clubs and motorcycle enthusiasts, Izard county has seen a parade of people from outside the area coming to enjoy the panoramic views from the comfort of their chosen mode of pleasurable transportation. Many, I'm absolutely sure, drive by sights that are easily accesible and not far off the highway never even knowing those sights are there. This blog will give anyone searching for information before they visit the area a way to know where some of those places are.
