Gone to the Grave
Before there was a death care industry where professional funeral directors offered embalming and other services, residents of the Arkansas Ozarks—and, for that matter, people throughout the South—buried their own dead. Every part of the complicated, labor-intensive process was handled within the deceased's community. This process included preparation of the body for burial, making a wooden coffin, digging the grave, and overseeing the burial ceremony, as well as observing a wide variety of customs and superstitions. These traditions, especially in rural communities, remained the norm up through the end of World War II, after which a variety of factors, primarily the loss of manpower and...
Cultural Encounters Indians and Europeans in Arkansas(c)
These stories of unique and distinct peoples, their interactions, and their influences on Arkansas and the South fill a void in the literature examining French and Spanish encounters with the Indians. Using historical, anthropological, and archaeological approaches, these essays collectively cover the European-Indian experience in the region, from DeSoto's first contact in 1541 through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.

The Great Medicine Road, Part 1
Between 1841 and 1866, more than 500,000 people followed trails to Oregon, California, and the Salt Lake Valley in one of the greatest mass migrations in American history. This collection of travelers' accounts of their journeys in the 1840s, the first volume in a new series of trail narratives, comprises excerpts from pioneer and missionary letters, diaries, journals, and memoirs-many previously unpublished-accompanied by biographical information and historical background.
Torn by War
The Civil War divided the nation, communities, and families. The town of Batesville, Arkansas, found itself occupied three times by the Union army. This compelling book gives a unique perspective on the war’s western edge through the diary of Mary Adelia Byers (1847–1918), who began recording her thoughts and observations during the Union occupation of Batesville in 1862. Only fifteen when she starts her diary, Mary is beyond her years in maturity, as revealed by her acute observations of the world around her. At the same time, she appears very much a child of her era. Having lost her father at a young age, she and her family depend on the financial support of her Uncle William, a slaveo...

Footprints West
"I wrote FOOTPRINTS WEST in 1990 which included the Masters, Meeker, Mayo, Wheeler and Tomlinson families. They are the ancestors of my mother, Florence Elva (Masters) Fenn. Since the book was published, addititonal information has been obtained on the early ancestors as well as additions to the family. I have updated and corrected the family information. The Mayo family has had two generations removed due to lack of evidence. Those generations were contributed fot FOOTPRINTS WEST and I did not research their validity. The Masters and Wheeler families have had generations added. All of the other families have more recent information on living members of the families."--Preface.
