You might check out the books listed below by Judge Morris Arnold. He is "the" expert on colonial Arkansas. He's also written a number of articles for the Arkansas Historical Quarterly on the subject.

Arkansas Colonials, 1686-1804 : a collection of French and Spanish records listing early Europeans in the Arkansas
Colonial Arkansas, 1686-1804 : a social and cultural history
Cultural imperialism and the legal system : the application of European law to Indians in Colonial Louisiana
The French-Quapaw metis of eighteenth and nineteenth century Arkansas
The rumble of a distant drum : the Quapaws and old world newcomers, 1673-1804
Unequal laws unto a savage race : European legal traditions in Arkansas, 1686-1836

His research files, which include copies of thousands of pages of original records, are at the Butler Center. There is a tremendous amount of information about Arkansas Post and colonial Arkansas. Of course, the records are all in French and/or Spanish. Here's a link to the finding aid for the collection:
