The Wadsworth Anthology of Drama by W B Worthen

William B. Worthen served as director of Historic Arkansas Museum for more than 40 years. During his lengthy tenure, he oversaw the restoration, reconstruction, and interpretation of significant historic buildings on HAM's campus. He has also published numerous articles and books on the subject of Arkansas history, including the two-volume study of Arkansas's creative legacy, Arkansas Made, a project he co-wrote with current HAM director, Swannee Bennett. Over the course of his career at the museum, Worthen focused his research on the history of knives and knife making. His exhaustive research on Washington, Arkansas's James Black brought that early bowie knife maker back into the spotlight after decades of popular skepticism.

Mark Zalesky's knowledge of knives and related items is widely recognized. He has penned hundreds of articles about knives and has served as an appraiser, museum consultant, and is a director of the Antique Bowie Knife Association. Further, he is the editor and publisher of KNIFE Magazine, a monthly publication with which he has had a longtime association.
