Way back when pioneers crossed the mighty Mississippi River, the first settlers made their way deep into the Ozark Mountains. Much of this world has vanished now. The rutted wagon trails have been smoothed into blacktop roads. Families are spread across the continent rather than across the creek. Author James Carl Hefley takes you back to the "good ol' days" of Big Creek Valley, in Newton County, Arkansas. Catch a unique glimpse into the lives of the folks who shaped this little corner of the world. You'll come away appreciating the roots we all have in the way back when.

Paperback. Condizione: Collectible-Very Good. The history of the Ozark Mountains comes to life in this fully documented narrative. Author James C. Hefley's personal expedition to learn more about his own family roots is expanded into a look at the 'good ol' days' that can prompt all readers to appreciate the ties that they have to the 'way back when.' As Hefley makes discoveries along his ancestral trails just as the first white settlers made their way into the Big Creek Valley of Arkansas, he tells stories of old-timers that illuminate the difficulties faced on the frontier. He combines local yarns with those of legendary outlaws like Frank and Jesse James. Hefley's search for his ancestors leads him to Spencer County, Indiana, where he uncovers some surprising connections with Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon Baines Johnson. In other chapters, he writes about the Indians in the valley, including the notorious Chief Longhair, halfbreed leader of a Confederate outlaw band; colorful Sam Davis, the first white settler in the valley; the famous Nichols-Smith feud; Civil War clashes between Big Creek Union men and bandits who supported the Confederacy; frontier doctors and preachers; and much more. Although much of the world Hefley described has vanished, and families are spread across the continent rather than across the creek, Way Back When evokes a unique glimpse into a way of life that shaped many succeeding generations.
