Arkansas Ties ... A Little Bit of This, a Little Bit of That, and a Whole Lot of Arkansas

Lee County Confederate Memorial Marianna, Lee County, Arkansas Photographs by Desmond Walls Allen - Arkansas Research         Erected by D.C. Govan Chapter U.D.C. In Loving Memory of Lee County's Confederate Soldiers. "No braver bled for a brighter land, a brighter land had cause so grand."     "Their memories e'er shall remain for us, and their names bright names without stain for us.  Our heroes in Gray."     "Upward, onward, no retreat, they struggled, they toiled, they conquered defeat, those men with their thinning locks of gray, God bless those boys of the sixties, our veterans of today!"     Dead heroes!  Did we hear one say?  Dead, never!  They will live for aye in hearts of love, on story's page.  They'll live through every coming age; They'll live while valor's deeds are sung in praises from heart and tongue.
