Yell County Arkansas has two county seats.
Danville and Dardanelle.
In the Novel/movie "True Grit" Matty Ross said repeatedly that she was from Dardanelle in Yell county.
Patrick R. Cleburne, an Irishman who had served in the British Army, organized the Yell Rifles for the Confederacy. He rose to be a Major General and was arguably the best leader in the Western Theater. Cleburne wrote a letter suggesting that the South recruit thousands of black soldiers giving them their freedom in return. He was never promoted after that.
