Description

Free Land in the National Forests of Arkansas -- No Swamps!

Interesting promotional map, advertising free timber land in Arkansas, issued by A.V. Alexander, Locating Engineer, with an address in Little Rock, Arkansas.

The map notes:

Why work for low wages

When THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE to each of its citizens eligible to take up land under the Homestead Law 160 ACRES of agricultural land in the big NATONAL FOREST RESERVE of Arkansas FREE OF COST.

The country is well timbered and watered with numerous springs and clear running streams.   The climate is excellent and health conditions are the very best.  No swamp or overflow lands, and crop failures unknown.  No irrigation necessary.  Hogs and cattle fatten eight months of the year on the open forest range without grain.

The promotional details include a note that the company does not sell land, "WE SELL INFORMATION, and our INFORMATION is out stock in trade."
