The Louisiana Purchase was supposed to be one of history's greatest land deals, doubling the size of the US and gaining it control of the Mississippi River. However, neither the French who sold it nor the Americans who bought it may have understood it was not necessarily theirs to sell or buy, and those who lived there, at the time of the sale and after, would be devastated. In these nine essays, many of which focus on what is now Arkansas, contributors examine how the Louisiana Purchase changed the expectation of American expansion, altered the course of sovereign Native American nations, and transformed regional economies.
