Arkansas Thomas Cat
(Redirected from Arkansaw Thomas Cat)
The Arkansas Thomas Cat, "A Journalistic Highball Run by a Heathen,"[1] was a humorous weekly magazine founded by Jefferson Davis Orear [2][3] and published in Hot Springs, Arkansas between 1890[4][5] and 1945,[6] when it was suspended for a year and continued as a monthly until about 1950.[7]
The publication contained mostly satire and humorous stories, but also occasionally exposed misdeeds of prominent citizens,[8] especially Arkansas politicians.[9]
Orear was a friend of Bat Masterson.[10]
