Down in the Holler, first published in 1953, is a classic study of Ozark folklore. The University of Oklahoma Press is especially pleased to introduce such an invaluable and delightfully written book to a new generation of researchers and Americans entranced by the Ozarks and the folkways of the past.

Vance Randolph was perfectly constituted for his role as the chronicler of Ozark folkways. As a self-described ""hack writer,"" he was as much a figure of the margins as his chosen subjects. In The Ozarks, originally published in 1931, we have Randolph's first book-length portrait of the people he would spend the next half-century studying.
