Abstract

This master’s thesis traces the life and work of L. P. Featherston. He came of age in a time of great consternation for the common agrarian. Featherston forged a political path for himself, wrought with political violence and intimidation. He carried the message of the common man to the Arkansas General Assembly, and fought a fierce political machine on his way to the United States Congress. Fearing for his family’s safety from political foes, Featherston sought great riches in the south Texas railroad industry. Always facing his professional and personal battles with great integrity and grace, L. P. Featherston walked a path less traveled.
