There s a story still told around the Fort Smith Museum of History about a boy who got his name in the newspaper for leading his friends on an adventure through the city s tunnel system. The museum s executive director, Caroline Speir, doesn t remember all the details of the account, but she knows the lad s name well. Back then, it was Bill Darby; later, he became internationally known as Brig. Gen. William O. Darby, who led his troops into battle in World War II.
