"A History of Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas" by William Monks is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the early settlements in Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas, highlighting significant events like the Civil War and the rise of local groups such as the Ku-Klux.

of the narrative introduces William Monks himself, detailing his family's migration from Alabama to Arkansas in the early 1840s. It paints a vivid picture of the early pioneering life, describing the harsh realities of settlement, wildlife abundance, and the use of pelts and honey as currency.
