 | | In the year 1893 William F. Pope, of Little Rock, who was anephew of Gov. John Pope, also the governor's private secretary, wrote me he was writing a history of the early days in Arkansas, and to give him a sketch of the Tutt and Everett War. |
 | | The introduction to the sketch referred to states that in the administration of Gov. John Selden Roane, there occurred in Marion County a serious armed encounter between the Tutt and Everett families, and their respective followers, which is known as the Marion County War. |
 | | A posse was summoned by George Adams, a constable to arrest the Everetts, and went to where they had congregated, but found they were not able to do so, as they were too numerous to be taken with the forces the constable had and in fact, the constable was one of their friends. |
