Book Description
During the mid- to late 19th century, Cane Hill was a thriving community centered on agriculture, industry, religion, and education. It was also the home of many Arkansas "firsts." Founded in 1827 by Cumberland Presbyterians from eastern Tennessee and Kentucky, it was Washington County's first permanent settlement, predating nearby Fayetteville (1828). In 1834, residents founded Arkansas's first public school and library. That school later became Cane Hill College, one of the state's first institutions of higher learning and the first Arkansas university to admit and graduate women. The town also witnessed the Trail of Tears and a Civil War battle. Today, the town is home to an amazing collection of historic architecture, including 16 properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Book Description
"This is a work of historical archaeology in the American South focusing on religious institutions-two churches and a college-as they existed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Recently, historical archaeologists are considering more work on churches, churchyards, and cemeteries. Traditionally, the dearth of artifacts was a primary deterrent. Kimberly Pyszka notes that archaeologists have an increasing awareness of how these sites contribute to questions of identity, consumerism, trade, and colonialism, especially when using a landscape archaeology lens. Pyszka aims to demonstrate that select religious institutions used and modified natural landscape features to express their ideology, identity, goals, and social, religious, and political power. Where those structures were constructed, how they sat on the landscape, their architectural style, and their overall visual appearance were well-considered decisions made by religious leaders to benefit their organizations, communities, and, sometimes, themselves. A secondary goal is to show the social roles that religious organizations played in the development of communities. Pyszka connects back to those landscape decisions, specifically to how the architectural design of religious structures was used, intentionally or not, to unite people, often those of differing religious backgrounds. This contributed to the creation of a new common identity among people living in new and still-growing settlements, aiding in community development. She also wants readers to reflect on today's religious landscapes and the ways they are still used to express religious, social, and political ideology and identity"--
