Book Description
In 'Scenes and Adventures in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas' by Henry Schoolcraft, readers are transported to the rugged and enchanting landscapes of the Ozarks, where Schoolcraft vividly captures the beauty of the region and the unique culture of its inhabitants. Written in a descriptive and detailed style, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the wilderness of Missouri and Arkansas in the 19th century, offering a valuable window into the past. Schoolcraft's literary work exemplifies the American Romanticism movement, with its focus on nature, individualism, and the exploration of new frontiers. Henry Schoolcraft, a renowned explorer and ethnologist, drew inspiration from his own extensive travels and studies of Native American tribes to write 'Scenes and Adventures in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas'. His deep reverence for nature and fascination with indigenous cultures shines through in his writings, making this book a valuable addition to the field of American literature and historical documentation. I highly recommend 'Scenes and Adventures in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas' to readers interested in both literary works of the American Romanticism period and accounts of frontier exploration. Schoolcraft's meticulous observations and engaging storytelling make this book a captivating read for anyone seeking to delve into the wilderness of the Ozarks.

Book Description
Arkansas’s rich folk tradition is shown by the variety of its manifestations: a 250-year-old ballad, an archaic method of hewing railroad crossties with a broadax, the use of poultices and toddies to treat the common cold, and swamps of evil repute are all parts of the tradition that constitutes Arkansas folklore. In fact, as the essays selected by W.K. McNeil and William M. Clements show, these few examples only begin to tell the story. Starting with a working description of folklore as “cultural material that is traditional and unofficial” and characterized by a pattern of oral transmission, variation, formulaic structures, and usually uncertain origin, the authors survey in detail a wide array of folk objects, activities, beliefs, and customs. Among the rich offerings in this sourcebook are a discussion of the history of folklore research in Arkansas, an examination of some of the traditional songs and music still being preformed, a thoughtful exploration of the serious side of “tall tales” and “windies,” an investigation of folk architecture in Arkansas and what it reveals about our cultural origins, a study of many traditional foods and there preparation methods, an analysis of superstitions and beliefs, and a description of festivals and celebrations that are observed to this day. Complemented by biographies of reference works and audio and video recordings of the state’s folk materials, An Arkansas Folklore Sourcebook is the first complete guide to the study of one state’s “unofficial culture.”
