of Pike County Archives and History Society
The Pike County Archives and History Society was recently presented with an award from book publisher, Acclaim Press, for the new book the society sponsored entitled “Pike County History & Families 1833-2023.”
This large, hard cover, coffee-table style, 304 page book is well illustrated with hundreds of photos, drawings and maps from all eras of the two centuries it covers. The book was published by Acclaim Press.
Receiving the award was the book project chairman Charlotte McCauly, who’s initiative launched the book, and Darlene Watson, who served in compiling the materials for the book with the publisher for its production from beginning to end.
A special plaque was presented to them for public display at the local Archives Center.
The award is presented each year to one of the many books published by Acclaim Press, based in Sikeston, Mo., for the most outstanding local history book for the previous year.
“The winners are chosen by our own staff, based on aesthetic appeal, literary significance and market acceptance, in all of which Pike County, Arkansas excelled,” relayed Doug Sikes, president of Acclaim Press, who presented them with the plaque commemorating the award.
Sikes added, “Many great people have called Pike County home, so, it is fitting that their story will be so well preserved for future generations. All who worked on it are to be highly commended.”
The book is being sold by the Pike County Archives and History Archives in Murfreesboro.
