The Goat Woman of Smackover.
by Meredith May 14, 2012
Beginning today, each week we will profile a children’s book here on the Savvy blog. We will especially try and focus on Arkansas-themed books. So if you have suggestions, please let us know!
Today’s book, The Goat Woman of Smackover, by Ramona Smith, is an Arkansas original. The author’s wonderful and quirky illustrations tell the story of Salome Millar Myers, an ex-Barnum and Bailey circus performer who made her home in Smackover where she lived with her husband in a circus carriage and raised goats. Her eccentric ways charmed both children and adults alike.
You can order the book online via Amazon or find it in several Arkansas book stores.
