Other: Allsopp was a well known author/public figure in Little Rock Arkansas. There is a park named after him in the Hillcrest area of Little Rock. Albert Pike was an notable figure in Arkansas history, he was a Confederate General and he wrote a book called "Morals and Dogma", what you might call the Masonic Bible. He has a county named after him, Pike County Arkansas, which is where I live. There is also a park "Camp Albert Pike" in our area. This book has biographical information on when Pike was a Confederate General in the Civil War. It would make a nice addition to your Arkansas or Civil War library.
The other signature in the Book Dick Whittington was also a well known figure in the Pike and Montgomery County Area, and was involved in one of our local historical meuseums.
The whittington family is a prominate family in the area and there is also a whittington cemetary here.
The Whittingtons came to ARK. in 1834. To Mt. Ida in 1836. They established the Whittington cemetery for their descendants. He was first Postmaster of and named Mt. Ida in 1842 then in Hot Springs Co." Reference: transcribed from a large new upright marble headstone beside Granville's and Cordelia Whittington's neat old flat white gravestones. About 125 graves here and two unmarked. The homestead and post office were located on a hill west of the cemetery. Oldest grave 1846 Sara Whittington. Still an active cemetery.
