Salty Old Editor: An Adventure in Ink

Charlotte Tillar Schexnayder and her husband, Melvin, owned the Dumas Clarion newspaper, an influential voice in the life and politics of the Arkansas Delta and Schexnayder later served for 14 years in the Arkansas House of Representatives. She was a pioneer in helping to open the professions of politics and journalism to women. ‘Salty Old Editor’ is the story of how Schexnayder overcame the many challenges she faced with abundant humor and grace-and with ink on her fingers.
