Travis Calvin Jackson was born in Waldo (Columbia County). He was one of six native Arkansans elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He played for the New York Giants and was considered the best National League shortstop in the 1920s. Noted for his defense (which earned him the nickname Stonewall), he was also considered a clutch hitter.
