Netherton tells that, following the Civil War, his ancestors decided to move from Louisiana to Mexico. That changed when their wagon train camped at the same location as a wagon train from Missouri. The Missourians shared Arkansas apples and told of fresh Arkansas streams. Next morning the great-grandparents turned north, coming to the NWA area. [00:54:00]
