Frontier Fun in a Frontier Letter from Arkansas
A lively excerpt from a St. Louis Democrat letter dated Dover October 8 1872 humorously frames frontier life with gun talk and local feuds. The writer boasts about double barrels, recalls pistol incidents, mentions the Jett family, invites readers to visit, and notes attempts to recruit Sunday school books and teeth sets. He also notes his Baptist Sunday school leadership and raucous church music.
