Synopsis

A Personal History of the Ozarks of Arkansas, Connell J. Brown’s latest book, examines the Ozarks from the perspective of a native Arkansan who has lived in the area for nearly all of his 94+ years. With the keen eye of a scientist he notes and discusses the changes that have taken place in his beloved Ozarks from his birth in 1924 through today. Dr. Brown’s analysis of the development of the area covers such topics as transportation, education, the arts, and the livestock and poultry industries. In addition, Dr. Brown relates personal experiences of his own, which include entertaining the reader with glimpses into the past during the times of the Great Depression and World War II. Taken together, the history and the personal observations of the Arkansas Ozarks as seen through the eyes of a native son add up to quite an interesting read.
