Since I can't find a contact person, I've decided to post this information, so someone (anyone) can contact me.

I have a copy of "Arkansas Emergency Relief Administration April 1934-35" which is a book published about the work being done by the WPA in Arkansas.

In this book, page 86-88 there is a story of the history of the Wilderness Cabin, and the first library, which was in a cave--with pictures of both, 10 in all.

The Wilderness Cabin Library was constructed by WPA. This makes it of intense interest to Arkansas Historic Preservation, and other Arkansas agencies.

The library had help and donations from very important people, including the President's wife (of the U.S.) Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Will the person in charge please contact me for more information.
