Van Horn Trading Post

Van Horn Trading Post, also known simply as Van Horn, was a Mississippi River port town located in Desha County, Arkansas. It was founded as a hub of commerce and trading, but, during the Wild West era, it attracted more outlaws and delinquents than honest traders, and, by the 1890s, much of the town was dirty and derelict. The town lacked a police force, many of its homes were abandoned, and its wooden docks were in disrepair.
