Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The emergence into pop culture of quaint and simple Ozarks Mountaineers-through the writings of Vance Randolph, Wayman Hogue, Charles Morrow Wilson, and others-was a comfort and fascination to many Americans in the early twentieth century. Disillusioned with the modernity they felt had contributed to the Great Depression, middle-class Americans admired the Ozarkers' apparently simple way of life, which they saw as an alternative to an increasingly urban and industrial America. Catherine S. Barker's 1941 book Yesterday Today: Life in the Ozarks sought to illuminate another side of these 'remnants of eighteenth-century life and culture': poverty and despair.

Barker was also convinced that there were just as many contemptible facets of life in the Ozarks that needed to be replaced as there were virtues that needed to be preserved. This reprinting of Yesterday Today-edited and introduced by historian J. Blake Perkins-situates this account among the Great Depression-era chronicles of the Ozarks.…
