Exploring our Ozarks' History is something I have enjoyed over the years. Beginning this June, I will teach a four-class Introduction Course called,
Ozarks’ History: From the Louisiana Purchase to
Pioneering the Plateau (1803-1859).
The classes will be taught on the ASU-MH Campus and begin on Thursday, June 6th, from 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm. The classes will continue for the next three Thursdays.
Course Description:
Locked remotely in the heartland of America, the Ozark Plateau has been
viewed with suspension & ignorance. Yet, the Ozarks is a vast
tapestry that has woven diverse people groups into its history for over
200 years. From its Native American tribes to its European explorers
& pioneers, we will study the Ozarks and discover the war, feuds,
reunions & baptisms that give the region its distinctive character.
In this course, we will explore the origins of its name, discover its
topography, flora & fauna, and roam its rivers, prairies &
villages. This course will give a foundation to understand the many
catalysts that changed the Ozarks over the last two centuries.
Additionally, we will uncover available sources that will deepen our
understanding of the
Ozarks’ History.
