Their Kentucky homeland: 1. Childress Clan ; 2. German Hat Maker's family ; 3. Hard times in Hart County -- Part II. Settling on Mahans Creek -- Part III. Scream of the saw mill -- Part IV. When in places even the Creek went dry."In Down on Mahans Creek, Benjamin Rader provides a fascinating look at a neighborhood in the Missouri Ozarks from the early nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. He explores the many ways in which Mahans Creek, though remote, was never completely isolated or self-sufficient. The residents were deeply affected by the Civil War, and the arrival of the railroad and the timber boom in the 1890s propelled the community into modern times, creating a more fast-paced and consumer-oriented way of life and a new moral sensibility. During the Great Depression the creek's residents returned to some of the older values for survival. After World War II, modern technology changed their lives again, causing a movement away from the countryside and to the nearby small towns. Down on Mahans Creek tells the dynamic story of this distinctive neighborhood navigating the push and pull of the old and new ways of life." --Book jacket.Mountain peopleMissouriHistory19th centuryMountain peopleOzark MountainsHistory19th centuryMountain peopleMissouriHistory20th centuryMountain peopleOzark MountainsHistory20th centuryMontagnardsMissouriHistoire19e siècleMontagnardsOzark, MontsHistoire19e siècleMontagnardsMissouriHistoire20e siècleMontagnardsOzark, MontsHistoire20e siècleBoundariesfast(OCoLC)fst00837076Mountain peoplefast(OCoLC)fst01028278Ozark MountainsBoundariesHistoryMissourifastUnited StatesOzark MountainsfastElectronic books.
