A largely quantitative view of the institution of slavery in Hempstead County, Arkansas, this work does not describe the everyday lives of slaveholders and slaves. Chapters examine the origins, expansion, economics, and demise of slavery in the county. Slavery was established as an important institution in Hempstead County at an early date. The institution grew and expanded quickly as slaveholders moved into the area and focused the economy on cotton production. Slavery as an economic institution was profitable to masters, but it may have detracted from the overall economic development of the county. Hempstead County slaveholders sought to protect their slave property by supporting the Confederacy and housing Arkansas's Confederate government through the last half of the war.

The purpose of this study was to determine the economic impact of the College of Eastern Utah on Carbon County. The amount of income that accrued to County households, due to the College's presence in the County, was used as a measure of this impact. The College expenditure flow to the County Has $61,610. Faculty salaries amounted to $318,309, during the 1964-1965 fiscal year. Student expenditure flow to the County was estimated at $636,254. Retail trade and service margins were calculated and applied to the College and student expenditure floor. This calculation indicated an income flow of $122,339, to the County. Wages and salaries paid by the College in the amount of $318,309, was considered as first round income. The total income flow to the County, due to the presence of the College, was $440,648. Relating this amount to job equivalents by dividing the average non-agricultural wage in Carbon County into $440,648, there were 93 jobs created in the County. This is 2.0 per cent of all non-agricultural jobs in the County.
