Arkansas has always been among the leading states whose people stepped
up to defend the nation in times of war.
On a few thousand acres of land across the Arkansas River from the
capital city of Little Rock, this dedication is evident. Images of
America: Camp Robinson and the Military on the North Shore traces the
area's military history from the founding of Fort Logan H. Roots in the
late 1800s through the training for World War I and World War II, when
as many as 50,000 men and women were stationed at Camp Robinson at any
one time. This book pays tribute to the Arkansas National Guard, which
is still based at Camp Robinson and has served countless times in times
of war and natural disasters. Illustrated with rare photographs spanning
more than a century, Camp Robinson and the Military on the North Shore
commemorates one of the proudest military training grounds in the
nation's history.
