Notorious incidents, he also mentioned the followup and i probably will not have time to get to that. But i will have copies of both books for anybody interested. As the name suggests, the book is about murders and shootouts and anything notorious that happened in the ozarks. In some cases, slightly outside the ozarks. The timeframe is from the and of the civil war up through the gangster era of the 1920s and 1930s, with one exception about the very last story of something that happened in 1950. But it covers the gangster era. I would like to say, if there is any other thing that i tried to develop in the theory is something jeremy touched on. The idea is that the old west was not just kansas and arizona territory and places like that, particularly in the years immediately after the civil war, like from 18651875 and 1880. There was a lot of things that happened in missouri and the ozarks and we were very much part of the wild west. The first chapter in my book is about while bill hanco

Bill hickok to bonnie and clyde. The Kansas City Library hosted the event. Welcome. Welcome everyone. My name is jeremy and i had up the Missouri Valley special collection which is the local regional and History Department of the library. Our Research Room and heart and archives are located across the hall. In the Missouri Valley room you will find books, articles, and manuscripts documenting kansas as it rowdy, violent past evolved from a western cowtown to a bustling metropolis. Our history includes bloody border fighting during the civil war, notorious outlaws and prostitutes, rampant illegal gambling and bootlegging during prohibition, and gangland violence and assassinations including one infamous massacre from 1933. Perhaps there is no more widespread lawlessness, violence, and mayhem in missouri in the decades following the civil war and well into the 20th century than in the ozark region. Here today to talk about the notorious characters and sensational events of that. Times aw
