Bøger i Chronicles of the Ozarks serien

"Although more than one hundred novels set in the Ozarks were published before it, Thames Ross Williamson's 1933 novel The Woods Colt was the first to achieve notable success both popularly and critically. Written entirely in regional dialect, The Woods Colt is the story of the violent and reckless Clint Morgan, whose attempts to secure love and freedom force him down a path of self-destruction. With an introduction and explanatory notes from Phillip Douglas Howerton, this new edition makes the seminal novel available once more to scholars, regional enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a tale of the Ozark hills"--

May Kennedy McCord, lovingly nicknamed 'Queen of the Hillbillies', spent half a century sharing the history, songs, and stories of her native Ozarks. Queen of the Hillbillies brings together the best of McCord's published and previously unpublished writings to share her knowledge, humour, and inimitable spirit with a new generation of readers.

Published just days before America's entry into World War II, Ozark Country is Otto Ernest Rayburn's love letter to his adopted region. Rayburn's colourful tour takes readers from the fictional village of Woodville into the backcountry of a region teeming with storytellers, ballad singers, superstitions, and home remedies.

Drawing on her encounters and experiences as a federal social worker in the backwoods of the Ozarks in the 1930s, Catherine Barker described the Ozark mountaineers as ""lovable and pathetic and needy and self-satisfied and valiant"", declaring that the virtuous and independent people of the hills deserved a better way and a more abundant life.

Vance Randolph was perfectly constituted for his role as the chronicler of Ozark folkways. As a self-described ""hack writer,"" he was as much a figure of the margins as his chosen subjects. In The Ozarks, originally published in 1931, we have Randolph's first book-length portrait of the people he would spend the next half-century studying.
