One of the few things to attract people to Fort Smith.

A Drive in Town Fort Smith, Arkansas
Fort Smith, Arkansas lies on the Arkansas-Oklahoma state border, situated at the junction of the Arkansas and Poteau Rivers, also known as Belle Point. The city began as a western frontier military post in 1817 and would later become well known for its role in the settling of the Wild West and its law enforcement heritage.
In 2007, Fort Smith was selected by the United States Department of the Interior to be the location of the new United States Marshals Service National Museum (which as not been build yet).
The site of Fort Smith became part of the United States in the Louisiana Purchase (1803). Soon after, the Pike Expedition (1806) explored the Arkansas River. Fort Smith was founded in 1817 as a military post, but the Army abandoned the first Fort Smith in 1824 and moved 80 miles further west to Fort Gibson. Army sutler and land speculator John Rogers (who some genealogists claim to be an ancestor to 20th-century Oklahoma comedian Will Rogers) bought up former government-owned lands and promoted growth of the new civilian town of Fort Smith, eventually influencing the federal government to re-establish a strong military presence at Fort Smith during the era of Indian Removal and the Mexican War.

Robert Runyan
Robert Runyan has been building log structures for more than 40 years, but he doesn't build run-of-the-mill log cabins. Unlike most log cabin makers, he doesn't use modern machinery to manufacture them. His “old world” methods of construction involve a team of mules, antique hand tools, apprentices and a lot of hard work.
His accomplishments in log cabin construction and stone masonry – as well as his dedication to teaching the craft to others – earned him the 2014 Arkansas Living Treasure Award.
The Arkansas Living Treasure program annually recognizes an Arkansan who is outstanding in the creation of a traditional craft and has significantly contributed to the preservation of the art form. An independent panel of practicing craft artists and professionals in the fields of craft and folk art select the recipient based on the following criteria: quality of work, community outreach and overall contribution to the field of traditional crafts.
Runyan, 65, of Winslow, is a self-taught craftsman, born and raised in Newport. His interest in log cabin construction began when he attended a Boy Scout camp and learned skills in timber tower construction and using hand tools. I can remember, as a kid, building miniature structures from Lincoln Logs and stones just to entertain myself, he said.
His passion continued to grow as he received hands-on experience working as a draftsman for his father's architectural design business. But he almost chose a different path. Runyan was a pre-med student at Arkansas Tech University in Russellville. “By the time I got through with school, I was so burned out, I ran off to live in the woods. My goal was to be a doctor, but that’s not where my heart was. My heart was with Mother Nature,” he said.
After college, Runyan moved to Winslow and built his first log structure in 1972. His “off the grid” lifestyle reflects his work philosophy. He lives in a remote corner in Washington County surrounded by woods in a two-story, stone and log cabin he built using materials he gathered from his surroundings.
He has no running water, no publicly-supplied electricity, no computer, no television and no telephone. He heats his house and cooks his food using wood stoves and generates electricity through solar panels. “I chose this lifestyle mostly for environmental reasons. I’m just a nature boy at heart,” he explained. “This lifestyle is demanding, but fulfilling. It’s like a job.”
In his construction, Runyan employs techniques that were used 700-800 years ago. He begins by hand selecting and cutting standing dead oak timbers indigenous to the Ozarks. He doesn’t cut down living trees. He hauls and hoists the logs, as well as native stones, using his team of mules, Jasper, Jenny and Junebug.
He processes the logs and stone with hand tools (axes, draw knives, calipers, chisels, etc.) and uses traditional joinery with notching and wood pegs. Typically, he puts a structure together first off-site and then disassembles it, numbers the parts and reassembles the entire building at its final destination.
Nothing makes me happier than building something and working with my hands,” he said. “From the selection of timber, loading, hauling, working the stone and logs to the tools and devices I employ, I have attempted in every instance to maintain the traditions of my craft, minimizing the use of heavy equipment and gas or electric powered implements.
He has completed dozens of notable projects in Arkansas, including the construction of the Bottle Rocket Gallery in Fayetteville, the reconstruction of the Yellow Rock Overlook at Devil's Den Park in Winslow and the Underwood-Lindsey Pavilion at Mount Sequoyah Woods in Fayetteville, as well as the restoration of the 1820s log granary at the Rice-Upshaw House in Dalton.
In each of his projects, he mentors to apprentices and colleagues on the traditional techniques of stone and log construction. For two years, he worked with apprentices on the rebuilding and repairing of several structures at the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History. The construction was done in the public view and included lectures and discussion.
When he isn't working, Runyan enjoys reading, making home improvements, drawing, leatherwork and spending time with his wife, Dorothy.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
The American Car Company was a streetcar manufacturing company based in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. It was one of the country's leading streetcar builders during the heyday of streetcar operation. The company was founded in 1891 by William Sutton and Emil Alexander, who had previously founded the Laclede Car Company in 1883 also in St. Louis, and had both got their start working in the streetcar business at St. Louis' horsecar manufacturer, the Brownell Car Company.
The American Car Company was a builder of electric powered streetcars. ACC was bought out by the J. G. Brill Company of Philadelphia in 1902. However, Brill continued to operate the American Car Co. under its own name until 1931, when it was reorganized as J. G. Brill of Missouri.In 1915, American Car built the very first Birney-type trolley, the prototype of a new design then known as the Safety Car, and went on to build more Birney cars than any other manufacturer. The Fort Collins Municipal Railway, in Colorado, and the Fort Smith Trolley Museum, in Arkansas, are examples of operations where preserved Birney cars built by the American Car Company can still be seen running today.
In 1931, only four months after parent company J. G. Brill discontinued use of the American Car Company name, the ex-ACC factory in St. Louis closed permanently.
