Bevor die Kolonialisierung des nordamerikanischen Westens begann, ließen sich die vor allem aus europäischen Ländern immigrierten Siedler in der zumeist noch unbewohnten Wildnis von Arkansas nieder, wo sie Ackerbau und Viehzucht betrieben. Pferdediebe brachten die Farmer um die Früchte ihrer Arbeit, aber auf Pferdediebstahl folgte die Todesstrafe. Doch leider reichte der ›Arm des Gesetzes‹ nicht überall in die Weite des riesigen Landes hinein. Darum formierten sich Bürgerwehren, die ›Regulatoren‹. Diese traten schon bald im gesamten amerikanischen Westen in Aktion, um Verbrecher - insbesondere Pferdediebe und Mörder - zu jagen und zu richten. Das geschah insbesondere nach Aufhebung der Todesstrafe für Pferdediebstahl, weshalb die ›Regulatoren‹ zur oftmals brutalen Selbstjustiz griffen. [more]

John Lewis Ferguson—historian, minister, author, archival administer, and historic preservationist—served as Arkansas state historian and the director of the Arkansas History Commission and State Archives from 1960 to 2005, only the third person to hold that position since 1905. His forty-five-year tenure was the longest in the agency’s history. John Ferguson was born on March 1, 1926, on a farm near Nashville (Howard County) to farmer and World War I veteran Clarence Walter Ferguson and his wife, Nannye N. McCrary Ferguson. As a child attending the rural York’s Chapel School, he read every history book he could find. Early on, he decided to pursue a career in history. He graduated from Nashville High School in 1944. In 1951, he was ordained as a Missionary Baptist minister. A year later, he earned a BA in history from Henderson State Teachers College (now Henderson State University), followed by an MA in history from the University of Arkansas (UA) in Fayetteville (Washington County) in 1952. In 1960, he received a PhD in history from Tulane University. During this time, he served as pastor of rural Arkansas Missionary Baptist churches in Howard and Yell counties. [more]

John Lasarus Williams (29 October 1924–15 June 2004), known as John L, was a Welsh nationalist activist. Williams was born in Llangoed on Anglesey, but lived most of his life in nearby Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. In his youth, he was a keen footballer, and he also worked as a teacher. His activism started when he campaigned against the refusal of Brewer Spinks, an employer in Blaenau Ffestiniog, to permit his staff to speak Welsh. This inspired him to become a founder of Undeb y Gymraeg Fyw, and through this organisation was the main organiser of Sioe Gymraeg y Borth (the Welsh show for Menai Bridge using the colloquial form of its Welsh name).
