Little Rock, Then and Now

Little Rock is small by capital-city standards, but much like larger capitals, it has been quick to demolish the old in favor of the new. There are still striking structures tucked away here and there, and to appreciate how Little Rock has evolved from sleepy, steamboat days to a booming tourist destination, Arcadia Publishing presents photographs from past and present.
