Arkansas State Parks-Northeast section
We had never really spent much time in the Northeastern part of Arkansas. We were truly blown away at all it had to offer. We experienced all of the parks in this area and more. There were several places we visited that I would like to go back and spend more time.
OTCP: The Old Arkansas Lunatic Asylum Mass Grave Investigation
Approved by the Arkansas Legislature in 1873 and built on the then outskirts of Little Rock in 1883, The Arkansas Lunatic Asylum stood for 80 years until it was finally demolished in 1963, at which time more modern facilities were built. The name of the Arkansas Lunatic Asylum was changed to the Arkansas State Hospital For Nervous Diseases in 1905 and it was changed again in 1933 to The Arkansas State Hjospital - the name by which it continues to be known today. Given the limited understanding of and treatment for mental illness available in the hospital's early years, the facility basically served as a warehouse for society's unwanted persons. The average psychaitric hospital stay today is only 3 days, but at the time the facility was first opened and all the way up into the 1970's patients admitted to the hospital would typically spend the rest of their lives there, kept away from the eyes of soceity and largely denied any real care that might be considered treatment by our standards today. It was not unusual for patients to be admitted as children, to spend their entire childhood and adult lives locked away within the facility, and to finally die within its grounds completely forgotten by their families and by society in general. Patients who died with no one to claim them were burried on the facility's grounds in graves that typically bore very few markings (if any at all) with little to no records as to the patients names and final resting locations. Between the facilities establishment in 1883 and its final demoltion in 1963, the remains of over 4,000 unclaimed mental patients had been burried within its grounds. In order to make room for new construction projects, these patients remains were moved to a vacant field that was located outside of Little Rock off of Markham Drive. With the construction of the I-630 beltway around Little Rock, around 3,000 of the graves had to be relocated to a cemetery in Benton, Arkansas - leaving between 1,500 and 2,000 of the remains burried within the field off of Markham Drive in Little Rock. In the late 1970's, it was decided that a monument should be placed upon the field in memory of the generations of unclaimed mental patients interred there, a contest was held regarding its design, and $22,500 was budgetted for its construction.
In October of 2015, Off The Chain Paranormal conducted an in-depth investigation that utilized their full arsenal of scientific equipment. Due to the scope of the investigation, Entity Seekers (of Batesville, Arkanss) was also invited to participate in the investigation with them. Christina George, the nationally known California-based psychic, also participated within the investgation, doing a live telephone Interview based upon shared images. Blind Man's Bluff Productions was invited to film, photograph, and produce a video of the investigation. This is that video.

SUMMARY
=======
Arkansas ( AR-kən-saw) is a state in the southern region of the United States, home to over 3 million people as of 2017. Its name is of Siouan derivation from the language of the Osage denoting their related kin, the Quapaw Indians. The state's diverse geography ranges from the mountainous regions of the Ozark and the Ouachita Mountains, which make up the U.S. Interior Highlands, to the densely forested land in the south known as the Arkansas Timberlands, to the eastern lowlands along the Mississippi River and the Arkansas Delta.
Arkansas is the 29th largest by area and the 33rd most populous of the 50 United States. The capital and most populous city is Little Rock, located in the central portion of the state, a hub for transportation, business, culture, and government. The northwestern corner of the state, such as the Fayetteville–Springdale–Rogers Metropolitan Area and Fort Smith metropolitan area, is a population, education, and economic center. The largest city in the state's eastern part is Jonesboro. The largest city in the state's southeastern part is Pine Bluff.
The Territory of Arkansas was admitted to the Union as the 25th state on June 15, 1836. In 1861, Arkansas withdrew from the United States and joined the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. On returning to the Union in 1868, the state continued to suffer due to its earlier reliance on slavery and the plantation economy, causing the state to fall behind economically and socially. White rural interests continued to dominate the state's politics until the civil rights movement. Arkansas began to diversify its economy following World War II and relies on its service industry, aircraft, poultry, steel, tourism, cotton, and rice.
The culture of Arkansas is observable in museums, theaters, novels, television shows, restaurants, and athletic venues across the state. Arkansas's enduring image has earned the state a special place in the American consciousness. People such as politician and educational advocate William Fulbright; former President Bill Clinton who served as the 40th and 42nd Governor of Arkansas; his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; former NATO Supreme Allied Commander General Wesley Clark, Walmart magnate Sam Walton; singer-songwriters Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell; the poet C. D. Wright; and physicist William L. McMillan, who was a pioneer in superconductor research; have all lived in Arkansas.
History of the Southern United States
The history of the Southern United States reaches back hundreds of years and includes the Mississippian people, well known for their mound building. European history in the region began in the very earliest days of the exploration and colonization of North America. Spain, France, and England eventually explored and claimed parts of what is now the Southern United States, and the cultural influences of each can still be seen in the region today. In the centuries since, the history of the Southern United States has recorded a large number of important events, including the American Revolution, the American Civil War, the ending of slavery, and the American Civil Rights Movement.

SUMMARY
=======
The American Indian Wars (or Indian Wars) is the collective name for the various armed conflicts fought by European governments and colonists, and later the United States government and American settlers, against various American Indian tribes. These conflicts occurred within the United States and Canada from the time of the earliest colonial settlements in the 17th century until the 1920s. The various Indian Wars resulted from a wide variety of sources, including cultural clashes, land disputes, and criminal acts committed on both sides. European powers and the colonies also enlisted Indian tribes to help them conduct warfare against one another's colonial settlements.
After the American Revolution, many conflicts were local to specific states or regions and frequently involved disputes over land use; some entailed cycles of violent reprisal. The British Royal Proclamation of 1763 included in the Constitution of Canada prohibited white settlers from taking the lands of indigenous peoples in Canada without signing a treaty with them. It continues to be the law in Canada today, and 11 Numbered Treaties covering most of the First Nations lands limited the number of such conflicts.
As white settlers spread westward after 1780, the size, duration, and intensity of armed conflicts increased between settlers and Indians. The climax came in the War of 1812, which resulted in the defeat of major Indian coalitions in the Midwest and the South, and conflict with settlers became much less common. Conflicts were resolved by treaty, often through sale or exchange of territory between the federal government and specific tribes. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 authorized the US government to enforce the Indian removal east of the Mississippi River to the other side of the sparsely populated American frontier. The policy of removal was eventually refined to relocate Indian tribes to specially designated and federally protected reservations.
