an ludlan tribe named A rkansas,
t u t the actual meantug o f the
word 1« not known. It prol>ahly
has aoiue relatio n to th e word
K ansas. T h e r e haa beeu much
confusion as to the c o r re ct pro
nunciation of A rkan sas. T o re
move Ihls aa f a r aa possible a
resolution w as passed by the
s t a te s e n a te In 1881 which speci
fied that the tru e pronunciation
wus " A r kan-saw.”
Originally A rkan sas was a
part o f the L o uisiana Purc hase.
T
Its first s ettle m e n t was mad e by
the Kreuch about 168.V E xcept

rule, until purchased by the L'nl-

ten y e a r s a f t e r this, tt was a
part of L o uisiana territory. With
the admission o f the S t a t e of
L o u isiana in 1812 this northern
section was formed Into the Mis

In 181U there
was an o th e r partition and Ar
k a n s a s te rrito ry was created,
which included the present s ta te

territo ry.

that most of the ex)>anse of

a vast desert.
T h i s Idea per
