A. B. Taylor's house at Galla Rock shows only a
few rocks from the foundation, but Trapnall where
he moved is still standing and beautiful. A. B. and
Sallie moved to Little Rock after the Civil War. They
left Trapnall to their Grandchildren. The foundation
of Galla Rock that was sheared away was the labor base,
slavery, but the death knoll came when the railroad
by passed them and went through Atkins, AR. Merchandise
began coming up the rail instead of the River. Galla Rock
went from a town with stores and 500 people to a cow
pasture.
