Download or read book Opening the Ozarks written by Walter A. Schroeder and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the oldest European settlement in Missouri, Ste. Genevieve was the funnel through which the eastern Ozarks (the 5,000 square miles beyond Ste. Genevieve's location on the Mississippi) was established. A magisterial account of the settlement of this area from 1760 through 1830, Opening the Ozarks focuses on the acquisition and occupation of land, the transformation of the environment, the creation of cohesive settlements, and the building of neighborhoods and eventually organized counties. The study begins with the French Creole settlement at Old Ste. Genevieve in the middle of the eighteenth century. It describes the movement of the French into the Ozark hills during the rest of that century and continues with that of the American immigrants into Upper Louisiana after 1796, ending with the Americanization of the district after the Louisiana Purchase. Walter Schroeder examines the cultural transition from a French society, operating under a Spanish administration, to an American society in which French, Indians, and Africans formed minorities.

Book Synopsis A History of the Ozarks, Volume 1 by : Brooks Blevins
Download or read book A History of the Ozarks, Volume 1 written by Brooks Blevins and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2018-06-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geologic forces raised the Ozarks. Myth enshrouds these hills. Human beings shaped them and were shaped by them. The Ozarks reflect the epic tableau of the American people—the native Osage and would-be colonial conquerors, the determined settlers and on-the-make speculators, the endless labors of hardscrabble farmers and capitalism of visionary entrepreneurs. The Old Ozarks is the first volume of a monumental three-part history of the region and its inhabitants. Brooks Blevins begins in deep prehistory, charting how these highlands of granite, dolomite, and limestone came to exist. From there he turns to the political and economic motivations behind the eagerness of many peoples to possess the Ozarks. Blevins places these early proto-Ozarkers within the context of larger American history and the economic, social, and political forces that drove it forward. But he also tells the varied and colorful human stories that fill the region's storied past—and contribute to the powerful myths and misunderstandings that even today distort our views of the Ozarks' places and people. A sweeping history in the grand tradition, A History of the Ozarks, Volume 1: The Old Ozarks is essential reading for anyone who cares about the highland heart of America.

Book Synopsis Opening the Ozarks by : Walter A. Schroeder
Download or read book Opening the Ozarks written by Walter A. Schroeder and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 1542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the spread of settlement into the Ste. Genevieve District of the eastern Ozarks of Missouri from the initial French colonial emplacement at Ste. Genevieve on the Mississippi River in the mid-eighteenth century to 1830 in the American period. It thus involves the transition from French and Spanish to American strategies to occupy land. The focus is on the choice of lands to occupy, how settlers acquired land, and how they developed communities. The extensive land records collected from diverse sources by the Ste. Genevieve Project at the University of Missouri-Columbia form the core of the documentary base for the study. The first part considers the natural environment for settlement purposes. The second is a history of Spanish and American administrative actions concerning the land settlement process with a focus on the extent to which official government land policies were carried out or were superseded by cultural traditions of settlers. Part three explores thirty-six neighborhoods of the district through a conceptual framework of seven basic settlement forms, bringing out the ethnic and racial diversity of settlers, different natural environments, and changing processes of acquiring and holding land. Part four analyzes population and transportation networks, then shows how the neighborhoods were integrated into an incipient settlement system with St. Louis at the hierarchical top. The study concludes by considering the Ste. Genevieve District within the larger context of American frontiers and emphasizes the value of detailed geographic study to capture the diversity of regions being settled.

The book offers a wealth of information about the region's surprising ethnic diversity -- a vast array of foods, languages, styles, religions, and customs -- plus well-informed essays on the region's history, culture and values, and conflicts. A site of ideas and innovations, reforms and revivals, and social and physical extremes, the Midwest emerges as a place of great complexity, signal importance, and continual fascination.
Book Synopsis Franco-American Identity, Community, and La Guiannée by : Anna Servaes
Download or read book Franco-American Identity, Community, and La Guiannée written by Anna Servaes and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French traditions in America do not live solely in Louisiana. Franco-American Identity, Community, and La Guiannée travels to Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, and Prairie du Rocher, Illinois, to mark the Franco-American traditions still practiced in both these Midwestern towns. This Franco-American cultural identity has continued for over 250 years, surviving language loss, extreme sociopolitical pressures, and the American Midwest's demands for conformity. Ethnic identity presents itself in many forms, including festivals and traditional celebrations, which take on an even more profound and visible role when language loss occurs. On New Year's Eve, the guionneurs, revelers who participate in the celebration, disguise themselves in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century costume and travel throughout their town, singing and wishing New Year's greetings to other members of the community. This celebration, like such others as Cajun Mardi Gras in Louisiana, Mumming in Ireland and Newfoundland, as well as the Carnaval de Binche, belongs to a category of begging quest festivals that have endured since the Medieval Age. These festivals may have also adapted or evolved from pre-Christian pagan rituals. Anna Servaes produces a historical context for both the development of French American culture as well as La Guiannée in order to understand contemporary identity. She analyzes the celebration, which affirms ethnic community, drawing upon theories by influential anthropologist Victor Turner. In addition, Servaes discusses cultural continuity and its relationship to language, revealing contemporary expressions of Franco-American identity.

Book Synopsis Ballad Hunting with Max Hunter by : Sarah Nelson
Download or read book Ballad Hunting with Max Hunter written by Sarah Nelson and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A traveling salesman with little formal education, Max Hunter gravitated to song catching and ballad hunting while on business trips in the Ozarks. Hunter recorded nearly 1600 traditional songs by more than 200 singers from the mid-1950s through the mid-1970s, all the while focused on preserving the music in its unaltered form. Sarah Jane Nelson chronicles Hunter’s song collecting adventures alongside portraits of the singers and mentors he met along the way. The guitar-strumming Hunter picked up the recording habit to expand his repertoire but almost immediately embraced the role of song preservationist. Being a local allowed Hunter to merge his native Ozark earthiness with sharp observational skills to connect--often more than once--with his singers. Hunter’s own ability to be present added to that sense of connection. Despite his painstaking approach, ballad collecting was also a source of pleasure for Hunter. Ultimately, his dedication to capturing Ozarks song culture in its natural state brought Hunter into contact with people like Vance Randolph, Mary Parler, and non-academic folklorists who shared his values.
