Whether you're a born-and-raised Arkansan, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Arkansas Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Janie and Wyatt Jones take you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Natural State. Read about one man's 1957 social experiment in a clothes-minded state, which prompted an anti-nudity law that may be unique in the Western world. Fly along with a Labrador Retriever named Bear, who in 1974 vanished on an Arkansas-bound plane and ended up crisscrossing America before returning home to a hero's welcome. Learn how a famed fowl's rumored return in 2004 after sixty years of apparent extinction caused a flutter among bird lovers everywhere.
Wyatt and Janie Jones are Arkansas natives, whose love of their home state inspired them to write Hiking Arkansas, also published by Globe Pequot Press. Wyatt pursues his interest in music, art, and natural history, while Janie enjoys writing true crime articles, most recently for AY Magazine.
