Ozark Books: Recommended Sources

 Empires, Nations, and Families: A New History of the North American West, 1800-1860. (2012) 
Anne E. Hyde: American historian
 Context, Context, Context
This book was suggested to me by Dr. Roger Carpenter, and this is one of the best recommendations in Grad school I have ever recieved. If you want to understand the influences behind Western Expansion, along with the Families & Nations, that influenced Missouri, the Ozarks, and eventually, the rest of Arkansas, this book delivers the context of these regions' founding era.
