'A History of the Ozarks, Volume 1' is a book-length account of life in the Ozark region of Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma in the era before the Civil War. Placing the region's story within the context of North American and United States history, the work follows the human story in the Middle American highlands from prehistoric times until the eve of the Civil War. Along the way it chronicles the rise and fall of the powerful Osages, the settlement of the French in the Mississippi Valley and the flood of Anglo-Americans on the frontier, the resettlement of immigrant Indians from the East, and the development of antebellum society in the diverse terrain of the Ozark uplift.

Full of geographic descriptions and sociological details, the author leaves no stone unturned in presenting the early days of the Ozark region. Agriculture is also a big part of the state’s history and through reading, it is easy to understand how the razorback became the mascot of the University of Arkansas.
From Indians to cattle drives, readers will discover the rich history that shaped Arkansas. The book ends right around the time of the Civil War and I’m so interested in reading the second volume that tells how the war changed things in the state.
History lovers and genealogists will most likely enjoy this book the most. There is an abundance of name-dropping of people and places important to Arkansas.
Many thanks to NetGalley and University of Illinois Press for allowing me to read an advance copy and give my honest review. (
