This book was released on 2021 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faulkner County native Red Hall was a serial killer who confessed to murdering at least twenty-four people. Most of his victims were motorists who picked him up as he hitchhiked around the United States. In the closing months of World War II, he beat his wife to death and went on a killing spree across the state. His signature smile lured his victims to their doom, and even after his capture, he maintained a friendly manner, being described by one lawman as "a pleasant conversationalist." Author Janie Nesbitt Jones chronicles his life for the first time and explores reasons why he became Arkansas's Hitchhike Killer.

Book excerpt: Becoming Disfarmer uses over 100 images to tell the story of Mike Disfarmer's vernacular portraiture and its transformation into art. This is the first monograph on Disfarmer to feature his vintage prints along with a selection of enlargements made from his negatives in the 1970s. Disfarmer's postcard size vintage photographs are reproduced in full color to convey their varied surfaces and most are shown in the condition in which they were found, rather than as restored images. The backs of numerous vintage photographs are reproduced and transcriptions of the handwritten notes that appear on the objects are provided. In addition, the monograph has high quality reproductions of newspaper pages in which Disfarmer's images appeared, locally produced historical journals that include images by other photographers who worked in the same time and region as Disfarmer and album pages like those for which Disfarmer's photographs were originally made. Complete with three scholarly essays on the artist's work, a bibliography and exhibition history, this monograph qualifies as the most comprehensive Disfarmer publication to date.

Download or read book Hillbilly Hellraisers written by J. Blake Perkins and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long a bastion of antigovernment feeling, the Ozark region today is home to fervent strains of conservative-influenced sentiment. Does rural heritage play an exceptional role in the perpetuation of these attitudes? Have such outlooks been continuous? J. Blake Perkins searches for the roots of rural defiance in the Ozarks--and discovers how it changed over time. Eschewing generalities, Perkins focuses on the experiences and attitudes of rural people themselves as they interacted with government from the late nineteenth century through the twentieth century.He uncovers the reasons local disputes and uneven access to government power fostered markedly different reactions by hill people as time went by. Resistance in the earlier period sprang from upland small farmers' conflicts with capitalist elites who held the local levers of federal power. But as industry and agribusiness displaced family farms after World War II, a conservative cohort of town business elites, local political officials, and midwestern immigrants arose from the region's new low-wage, union-averse economy. As Perkins argues, this modern antigovernment conservatism bore little resemblance to the backcountry populism of an earlier age but had much in common with the movement elsewhere.
