Back Yonder is not fancy. It is like a hand-sewn quilt. It has taken much time and effort. What you see is what you get. The tales are original and have some truth, even though I have added some exaggeration and fiction. Ben Franklin said no one would ever read history unless fiction was added.

A snapshot of a different era, Wilma tells the story of her life as the daughter of a sharecropper and preacher in the 30s and 40s. The story follows her through marriage, travels to Africa, and the loss of two children. Along the way she includes many stories from family history as told by her siblings and other relatives. Also included is a selection of poetry and prose written by several different family members. A wider selection of poetry by Juantia Willodean Daniel Stockton: ""I Remember: Poems About Life,"" is available on Lulu.com. Wilma also collected the family history with different genealogy charts and family trees tracing the family back as far as 1692. A few family photos are also included in this collection, but due to the quality of the original images they have not held up well in publishing.

Wayman Hogue’s stories of growing up in the Ozarks, according to a 1932 review in the New York Times, “brilliantly illuminate mountain life to its very heart and in its most profound aspects.” A standout among the Ozarks literature that was popular during the Great Depression, this memoir of life in rural Arkansas in the decades following the Civil War has since been forgotten by all but a few students of Arkansas history and folklore. Back Yonder is a special book. Hogue, like his contemporary Laura Ingalls Wilder, weaves a narrative of a family making its way in rugged, impoverished, and sometimes violent places. From one-room schoolhouses to moonshiners, the details in this story capture the essence of a particular time and place, even as the characters reflect a universal quality that will endear them to modern readers. Historian Brooks Blevins’s new introduction 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. The University of Arkansas Press is proud to reissue Back Yonder as the first book in the Chronicles of the Ozarks series, making this Arkansas classic available again, ready to be discovered and rediscovered by readers sure to find the book as interesting and entertaining as ever.

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.
