    About this ebook

    Take a journey through Arkansas' forgotten past and find the colorful characters, unusual stories and strange occurrences left out of conventional history books. Authors Edward and Karen Underwood weave fact and fun in this offbeat, gripping and little-known history of the Natural State. Discover the Tantrabobus monster rumored to lurk in the hills of the Ozarks, meet the imposters who faked the state's first history museum and learn the story behind Arkansas' lost amusement park, Dogpatch, USA. Truth really is stranger than fiction in Arkansas, and this one-of-a-kind state has the stories to prove it

      I grew up in North Myrtle Beach dancing the shag (“Save the Last Shag,” August/ September 2023). I met all the famous bands back then and even partied with the Tams. Wow, those were the days. I still listen to shag music every day on Riptide Radio an

      A Safe Place?

      Jan 1, 2022

      Finding a safe and inclusive place to live in this world has eluded me. I couldn’t find it in rural Pennsylvania. Perhaps a “safe place” for some, I felt anything but safe growing up there. I was excluded from birthday parties, labeled undateable, te

      I have been a cover-to-cover reader for over 30 years, and I must say that “Waiting for Water” (July 2023) with four feature articles written with ProPublica is maybe the best journalism you have ever published. I had no idea of the extent of the mac
