Leaders & Notable People

Mechanical engineering at the University of Arkansas developed into a program and a department in the late nineteenth century as the state government slowly began to understand the importance of the subject as part of the land-grant college's mission. After moving into its own building in the 1960s, the mechanical engineering program successfully developed into one that balanced the needs of faculty research with the needs of both undergraduate and graduate students. This is the department's story.

From the author of The University of Arkansas Razorback Band: A History, 1874–2004 comes this new book about the birth, growth, and development of other successful bands at Arkansas colleges that continue to have marching and concert band programs on their campuses. T.T. Tyler Thompson takes the reader on a journey from the late nineteenth century through the early twenty-first century as bands became an integral part of the state’s budding campuses of higher education and provided a performance outlet for thousands of college students, setting the musical stage for their respective campuses’ educational experience.

Thompson, T. T. Tyler

With the appearance of his latest novel, Lost Kingdoms, Phillip H. McMath has completed his fictional trilogy beginning with Native Ground (1984), then Arrival Point (1991). Now in Lost Kingdoms, the fictional Elizabeth Shaw flashes back via grief and remembrance on the death of her son, Christopher, the Marine hero of Native Ground killed in Vietnam. Through this medium of memory and loss is woven in the lives of several families (White, Black, and Red) the tragic story of Arkansas, the South, Southwest, and Mexico, which slowly emerges as a philosophical-historical tapestry not only as a tale uniquely its own but a comment on the meaning of history itself.

Literature & Fiction

<p>This book was written to answer the many people who have asked the author, "What was it like to grow up in Africa?" Scattered throughout the text, there are stories--some scary, some sad, and some happy--about "home" from different perspectives, long before the Congo became independent in 1960.</p>

History

Burnside, Sarah McKee

Africa

In an era in which African Americans were oppressed and deprived of many of the rights and privileges of citizenship, Scott Bond rose frombeing born a slave inMadison County,Mississippi, in the early 1850s to wealth and status as a farmer, merchant, and business entrepreneur in Madison, Arkansas, by the early 1900s. From Slavery to Wealth is the story of an extraordinary individual widely known and respected at the time of its first publication in 1917, for his integrity, prodigious energy, and strong work ethic. Throughout his career he never wearied of imploring African Americans to seize the opportunities offered them in the South in general and in the Arkansas Delta in particular. Scott Bond enjoyed an enviable reputation among blacks as well as whites. This reputation ultimately extended far beyond his local community to prominent blacks throughout the South and elsewhere, especially after he gained wider exposure as a conspicuous figure in the National Negro Business League in the early years of the twentieth century.With this 2008 reprint edition, the current generation can be inspired by the man who has been referred to as the black John D. Rockefeller of Arkansas.
