I feel it important to raise a topic I have never heard addressed in our circles – although I do not travel far in these circles – the common use of white-centric language. While we have made huge strides in making genealogy less “white”, I think it behooves all of us to take care with our words and references. The Ozarks were never “closed.” The “opening of the Ozarks” places white people at the point of reference. I hear something like this fairly often in the field.
Thanks for taking time to read this.

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for your perspective and reminder to be cognizant of the native peoples who inhabited areas before settlers. Brooks Blevins in his excellent book, A History of the Ozarks – vol. 1 The Old Ozarks has an excellent discussion on the tribes that appear in the history of the Ozarks at different times in history.
