When Pope County, was created on 2 November 1829 it was named for John Pope, III, Territorial Governor of Arkansas. This volume gives a brief history of the county from its creation up to the mid-1880s when the original material was written by the Goodspeed company. The family sketches included were submitted by the families themselves, therefore, they would seem to be more accurate in scope.
