Do you know of Bulger ???

Our sources for Bulger (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Bulger other than they indicate that Bulger would be found somewhere in Polk County, Arkansas.
