Marshall serves as a hub for area tourism including camping, floating, hiking, bicycling and Dark Sky viewing. == History == === Early history === The Paleo Indians, were the earliest known human inhabitants of the area. They marked their stay by leaving behind their unique Clovis spear points in caves and fields. Later, they became more advanced in creating shelters, clothing, and hunting weapons. In 1968 Don Dickson discovered lighter “heat treated” flint points at Calf Creek near Snowball. As a result of this first discovery all similar type projectiles are called Calf Creek Points. A year after the Louisiana Purchase, Congress began efforts to remove all tribes west of the Mississippi. By 1810, at the urging of the Secretary of War, large groups of Cherokees voluntarily moved to Arkansas and immediately found themselves fighting with the Osage who claimed this area as their hunting grounds.
