Walker Helped Shape Missouri Southeastern Border
A historical sketch credits John Hardeman Walker with securing Missouri’s southeastern boundary into Arkansas era, shaping Pemiscot and parts of Dunklin and New Madrid counties. His influence aided the state’s 1818 territorial push, tying Walker’s fate to Southeast Missouri as the “heel counties.” Also notes community club happenings and Missouri fishing notes including bluegill guidance and upcoming National Sportsman Show items.
