Traces of Ozarks Past: Outlaws, Icons, and Memorable Events - Rex T. Jackson. The road to our historical past is broad and wide, and we can go there whenever we like and feast upon the many lessons it can teach us. As we delve into that realm, beneficial examples can be easily gleaned by retracing former steps of the previous generations that went before us. The Ozarks region is rich in history, experiencing the Civil War, mining era, Wild West lawlessness, unforgettable tragedies, westward expansion, early pioneers, Native Americans, and much, much more. There are untold stories yet to be discovered, but in this volume are a few that can offer a glimpse down that long and winding trail of Ozarks past. Numerous photographs, illustrations, bibliographies and an index to full names, places and subjects enhance the value of this work.
