Excerpt from Life and Adventures of John Gaskins: In the Early History of Northwest ArkansasAs I was one of the first settlers in the country, liv ing along the creek three miles below Eureka Springs for thirty-eight years, I will tell something about the discovery of that place.I had hunted all over these mountains - killed bears and panthers and many other wild animals in nearly every gulch or cave in that Vicinity. I have killed nine bears in the hollow near the Dairy Spring and many deer. For that was always a good place for them. My regular stopping place was the Rock House. Or cave, above the Basin Spring in which Alvah Jackson camped on his hunting trips. We Of ten camped there, using the Basin water for our coffee never imagining it was more than pure water, until Uncle Alvah camped there with them. They simp ly dipped the water up from the little basin.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
