Chapter 1
In Which We Learn the History of the House
They call it The Pasture. Most likely because that is what it was built on or possibly because there was already a Bowen House in Perryville. Either way, they called it The Pasture.
It was 1901 when James Henry Bowen decided to build his summer home. He chose the small town of Perryville as his family's escape from their everyday lives in Little Rock. His reason behind choosing Perryville is obvious when one looks back at his family history and notices that his grandfather built the town's courthouse.
For workers, Mr. Bowen hired men from the area. They worked from sunup to sundown, but were paid well. When word spread of the construction, men from all over the state came to work for Mr. Bowen.
This is where our hero steps in.
