Reviews
"How many celebrated American historians began life in a remote log cabin in the Depression-era Ozarks? Ben Rader's probably the only one. It may start in territory occupied by stereotype and romance, but his story humbly and skillfully illuminates the lives of common Ozarkers navigating the furious changes of the mid-twentieth century. A terrific collection of vignettes."--Brooks Blevins, author of A History of the Ozarks, Vol. 3: The Ozarkers
