This is Galla Rock. Once there was Dardanelle Rock,Little Rock, Galla Rock...all points for navigators of the
Arkansas River. Sunday at 2:00 there is a history program
here. I want to go, but I bet I forget. John Jolley lived across
the River from this point. Galla comes from the word gravel
in French.
