What is Arkansas Before the Americans (Arkansas Archeological Survey Research Series, #40) about?

Arkansas colonial history has long been ignored by scholars, according to Arnold who introduces these contributions wwitten in celebration of the tricentennial of Arkansas Post. House studies the vessels of earlier inhabitants of a historic Quapaw village, Morse discusses the people whom de Soto met, and Hoffman compares Quapaw architecture to that of other tribes - all aimed at determining Quapaw ethnogenesis. Galloway views French-Quapaw relations and questions the "defection" of Jean Couture, who brought English traders to the Arkansas Post. Arnold shows that Law's German settlement in Arkansas was indeed a myth. Both Dickonson, who portrays the Catholic, Protestant, and cult visitors to Quapaw, and Sabo, who unravels the meanings of Quapaw ceremonies, show the tenacity of native faith and customs under foreign rule.
