Galla Rock

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.

    I live about 3 miles from the river. Some say Galley and some say galla. The old folks said galla and the french gave the pt it's name the word comes from the french word that means gravel. sis 3

    Maybe you'll hear all your blog readers calling out to you, about 1:00 tomorrow, "Sister, it's time for you to go to the history program"!
