In 1686 Henri de Tonti would found Arkansas Post in this same location. It was the first European settlement in this part of the country, established thirty years before New Orleans and eighty before St. Louis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMorris S. Arnold draws on his many years of archival research and writing on colonial Arkansas to produce this elegant account of the cultural intersections of the French and Spanish with the native American peoples. He demonstrates that the Quapaws and Frenchmen created a highly symbiotic society in which the two disparate peoples became connected in complex and subtle ways--through intermarriage, trade, religious practice, and political\/military alliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Morris Arnold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557288399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557288394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arkansas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.93w x 0.74d","brand":"Morris Arnold","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078417281279,"sku":"9781557288394","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_caab94cf-2934-4bcc-94ad-32a900ba948a.jpg?v=1685475391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rumble-of-a-distant-morris-arnold-9781557288394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
