About the Book

Originally released in 1932, Wayman Hogue’s Back Yonder is a rare and entertaining memoir of life in rural Arkansas during the decades follow- ing the Civil War. Using family legends, personal memories, and events from Arkansas history, Hogue, like his contemporary Laura Ingalls Wilder, creatively weaves a narrative of a family making its way in rug- ged, impoverished, and sometimes violent places.

From one-room schoolhouses to moonshiners, the details in Hogue’s story capture the essence of a particular time and place, even as the characters reflect a universal quality that endears them to the mod- ern reader. This reissue of Back Yonder, the first in the Chronicles of the Ozarks series, features an introduction by historian Brooks Blevins that explores the life of Charles Wayman Hogue, analyzes the people and events that inspired the book, and places the volume in the context of America’s discovery of the Ozarks in the years between the World Wars.

About the Author :
Charles Wayman Hogue(1870–1965)grew up in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. He attended what is now the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, taught school, later moved to Greenville, Mississippi, and Memphis, Tennessee, and was the father of well-known Arkansas writer Charlie May Simon.

Brooks Blevins is the Noel Boyd Professor of Ozarks Studies at Missouri State University. He is the author of five books, including Hill Folks: A History of Arkansas Ozarkers and Their Image; Ghost of the Ozarks: Murder and Memory in the Upland South; and Arkansas/Arkansaw: How Bear Hunters, Hillbillies, and Good Ol’ Boys Defined a State.

Review :

"Expertly edited and annotated .... leaves readers with an entertaining but curious account of Ozarks life."
--Missouri Historical Review, October 2016

"If you care about life in the Ozarks of a century ago, this book--and others in the UA Press's Ozarks Studies Series--is a must read."
--Susan Croce Kelly, OzarksWatch Magazine, Winter 2018 "It's easy to fall under the spell of Back Yonder. The book is so appealingly written, being no less than an open-faced celebration of growing up in rural Arkansas. But, Wayman Hogue is not simply a booster of his long-gone youth; he is a deep and penetrating observer. His delightful writing, joined with Brooks Blevins's erudite, but never stuffy, introduction and notes, brings this formerly hard-to-find Arkansas classic to a new generation of readers, from anyone who enjoys a good tale to
scholars of the time and region."
--Tom Dillard, author of Statesmen, Scoundrels, and Eccentrics: A Gallery of Amazing Arkansans
