Mamie

An Ozark Mountain Girl of Courage

By: Carl J. Barger

As a child growing up in Cleburne County, Arkansas, I learned most of my familys past from my mother. My mother spent her entire life in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. The Ozark Mountains, with their beautiful hardwood trees, rocky and rolling hills, clear running streams, wild game, and the Little Red River were a living paradise to some of the greatest people in the world. The Ozark Mountain people were often characterized as being raggedy, barefooted hill folks, who talked funny and used bad grammar. Most of them were considered to be illiterate, and if they were lucky, they might have a fourth grade education. They were considered to be different from most folks in Arkansas because of their superstitions, old remedies, and funny ways. Most of the hill folks in Van Buren and Cleburne counties either dipped snuff or chewed tobacco. Several of them made their living making and selling moonshine.

Where There's a Will, There's a Way

By: Carl J. Barger

Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way Ma was a crafty lady who had been taught well by her father and mother, Elias Samuel Totten and Nancy Jane Bradford Totten. She learned to cook, sew, plow, hoe, pick cotton, do housework, and dry apples and peaches for fried pies. She worked like a man. She could plow behind a mule as well as most men. She could also pull her weight in using a crosscut saw for cutting logs and firewood for the fireplace, kitchen cook stove, and the big iron potbelly heating stove that heated our house. In Carl J. Barger’s latest book, Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way, he writes of growing up in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in Cleburne County, Arkansas. He relates his struggles and triumphs as the ninth child in a family of eleven children born during the Great Depression to Edward and Mamie Ann Totten Barger of Higden, Arkansas. Growing up in the small community of Higden, population 122, he experienced poverty as well as a thirst for knowledge and understanding, always dreaming of a better life. He remembers lying awake at night listening to his mother crying, while she wondered where the family’s next meal was coming from. His Pa would say, “Mamie, I’m going to take care of that. Don’t you worry!” Barger includes the people who made a difference in his life; people who challenged him, motivated him, and influenced the man he became. He gives credit where credit is due. Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way was written to inspire others who are struggling, not knowing what the future holds for them.

In the early 1860s, the nation was divided by the Civil War and three sons of the family joined the Missouri 26th Infantry. Their triumphs and hardships were shared with family and loved ones through letters from the battlefields of a war-torn nation. Sons of War gives insight into what it was like to be a pioneer – their struggles, their successes and failures, their abiding religious convictions – and their dedication in fighting for what they believed.

Their tale began in the first book of the series, Dark Clouds over Alabama. To escape the stigma of hate and prejudice, Obadiah and Penelope marry and move away from Alabama with their mothers and several slaves to El Dorado, Arkansas. They purchase a 600-acre plantation named Three Oaks, situated a few miles from El Dorado in Southwest Arkansas. In this quiet, peaceful town, Obadiah opens up a medical practice and becomes the town’s beloved doctor.

Swords and Plowshares

By: Carl J. Barger

SWORDS AND PLOWSHARES is an epic tale of one familys struggles in the cauldron that shaped modern America: The Civil War. More than merely a war novel, though, SWORDS AND PLOWSHARES traces three generations of the Barger family in an historically accurate narrative that extends from Tennessee to Missouri, and from the 1820's into the twentieth century. The book focuses on the lives of two remarkable men, Allen Barger and his son James. It is a story of their triumph over the rigors and hardships of frontier life during the 19th century, of their love and sorrow, their struggles and battles, their successes and failures, and of the abiding religious conviction that gave them the strength to endure. From a genealogical prospective, the book is a living family history--historical and genealogical research have been combined to bring to life generations of an American family. From an historical perspective, the novel provides a grippingly realistic portrayal of life in mid-nineteenth Century America and of the hardworking, God-fearing people who built this nation and held it together when it was torn asunder. Allen Barger and James Barger typify countless nameless legions of the common folk that made America what it is today, and the retelling of their story honors every family descended from the stalwart stock of the American frontier.
