By: Charlie Daniels

Arkansas Secretary of State Charlie Daniels is proud to present the 2008 edition of the Arkansas Historical Report. Published just once each decade by order of the General Assembly, this ready reference is a unique compendium of appointed and elected officials over the state's colonial and territorial periods as well as its 172-year history. Its comprehensive listings of county, state, and federal officials make it a must-have for historians, journalists, genealogists, and other researchers. The 2008 edition also features essays by C. Fred Williams, Jay Barth, David Ware, Ann Early, and George Sabo III that provide insight into the state's history, politics, and Native American cultures. This new edition of the Historical Report includes, for the first time, an alphabetical index of state legislators. It also features a variety of historical photographs and has been substantially redesigned to create a more user-friendly reference tool.

I Hate to Lose

How a Little-Known, Handicapped Black Man Beat the Best of the Best on the PGA Tour. Charlie Owens

By: Charlie Owens,Ed Smith

I Hate To Lose is a story of courage and inspiration and how one little known African-American who grew up during the depression in Florida overcame poverty, prejudice and severe physical handicaps not only to play on the PGA Tour, but also to beat the best professionals of his era. Though he was severely crippled from a Korean War injury and was blind in one eye, that didn't bother Charlie. After a career in the PGA, at the age of 57, as a member of the Senior PGA, he just put two crutches in his bag, drove his ball down the middle of the fairway off the first tee in the first round of the 1986 U.S. Open and then bravely hobbled on those crutches out to take on the best and the healthiest in the world-the USGA would not allow him to ride in a cart. When he first qualified in 1972 for the PGA, he was teased and derided as the "crippled, blind, cross handed guy." Not only were his knees shot, he'd had a stroke and was blind in one eye and he never changed his backward, upside down grip that he'd always used as a young boy. People were amazed that he could even hit the ball let alone launch it on 300-yard drives with old Persimmon-headed woods. Nevertheless, in 1966, he won 18 of the 21 events he entered. Today Charlie Owens is 76 and his story must be told. The only remnant of his incredible narrative other than this book is a single scrapbook of short newspaper articles that he still cherishes. However, I Hate To Lose is not just another sports story, or another golf book. Charlie overcame just about every adversity: physical, mental and financial that a man could withstand and still emerged a champion among champions, not only in the game of golf, but also in the game of life.
