"Hell on the Border", as inmates called it, was a primitive jail serving the Federal Court for the Western District of Arkansas. The basement housed prisoners in the late 1800's. Judge Issac C. Parker, famously nicknamed the "Hanging Judge", presided over the courtroom in the same building from 1875-1889. The unpopularity of the jail's conditions led to construction of a newer, more acceptable facility in 1887. The building was used as a federal jail until the early 1900's. Events at this historical landmark also inspired the 1969 John Wayne Classic "True Grit".

I love nature and I love photography. I'm very BLESSED to have been placed in the beautiful Ozark Mountain region of Arkansas. I hope you enjoy what God has given to me as a 'backyard' and I pray you'll be able to see that beauty through my pictures. You can purchase my prints here at this Pixels - Fine Art America website. You can also follow me on Flickr, Twitter, and Facebook.
