Fort Smith started out as a jail. The jail is on the left. |

Galen, Shep and Val |
Kind of a creep place. Shep didn't like it much in here. |
They hanged five men here in one day. Judge Parker was called a hanging judge, but that really wasn't fair. Sometime like 16 men were hanged here but Parker judged at thousands of trials. |
Shep doing what little boys do. :-) He got caught on a hook climbing off the canon and totalled his favorite shorts. |
Shep thought these woods were a bit scary until I pointed out all how much all the birds liked the trees and how much I liked the shade the trees gave us on a hot and humid day. |
Fort Smith is on the Trail of Tears, a sad time in our history. |
