The place to find new, used, out of print and just plain hard to find Genealogy Books. If you have an old, used genealogy book or publication on your bookshelf and no longer use it then you can make some extra money and help another fellow researcher out by selling it here as well as putting some of the original cost you incurred back into your own pocket for new genealogical books or publications purchases.

    "Bushwhackers, Visions, Star-Crossed Lovers."
It contains over 200 true stories, over 200 photographs, and 22 maps. It is about Ozark history and culture as seen through the eyes of settlers. Most of the stories center around Barry County, McDonald County, and Newton County, with several stories that also pertain to adjacent Missouri counties such as Jasper, Lawrence, and Greene, as well as Benton, Washington, and Carroll counties in Arkansas. The book starts with the earliest settlers who entered the Ozarks through St. Charles and St. Louis. It then tells about the trails they took and their experiences as as they traveled south to Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas. The rest of the book tells about the lives of the settlers. Some of the stories are about the Civil War conflicts near Bowers Mill in the eastern part of Jasper County. The book has 256 pages, has a ten-page index, and is 8 1/2 by 11. For more information check my Web site at frankiemeyerbooks.com. The book can be ordered directly from me or bought at the Forall Book Store in Joplin, the Joplin Genealogical Society, and the Joplin Museum Complex. The book is $24.95, plus $5 for shipping and handling.

    1883 Jasper County Histories **Only 10**
The Printery of Clinton, Missouri no longer does history reprints. When they printed the Jasper County History for the Jasper County Historical Society in 1979, they had an overrun of 25 copies. I have purchased these and had them bound by Randolph Bindery. The cover color is similar to the 1979 reprints with gold lettering. These are hardbound books. The history is 1065 pages and has a 59 page index and a county map.
The price includes all taxes and shipping. Send $75 check or money order to
