About Ozark Society and Ozark Society Foundation Publications

The Ozark Society was founded in 1962 as an organized effort to save the Buffalo River from proposed dams.  After a 10-year struggle, the Buffalo River was designated as America’s first National River in 1972.  In order to further its aims of conservation, education, and recreation, in 1967, the Society created the Ozark Society Foundation.  Its first published book was Kenneth L. Smith’s The Buffalo River Country, which remains in print today.  Since that time more than 25 publications have been produced by the Ozark Society and the Ozark Society Foundation under the Ozark Society Books designation.  In addition, Ozark Society Books markets other quality outdoor publications as a service to purchasers, with a 10 percent discount to members.

All the publications listed are sold to individuals.  Books and maps owned by the Ozark Society are also sold to retailers.  Trade orders for books published by the Ozark Society Foundation are handled by the University of Arkansas.

The Buffalo Flows

The Story of Our First National River
Written and produced by Larry Foley
Photography by Trey Marley
Edited by Dale Carpenter

Folk singer Jimmy Driftwood called the Buffalo River “Arkansas’s gift to the nation—America’s gift to the world.” It was the first national river to be designated in the United States (1972).
The Buffalo Flows is a one-hour documentary film written and produced by two-time Emmy award–winning filmmaker Larry Foley, professor of journalism at the University of Arkansas. Academy Award winner Ray McKinnon narrates. Internationally known as an outstanding canoe stream, this 135-mile river, free of dams, is so much more, and the film captures what is protected.
The story is about the bluffs and the trees, the flowers and the birds, and the giant elk. It’s about hiking and floating and camping and fishing. And it’s also about the people who make their homes in Buffalo River country year round, and have for generations. Driftwood describes it as a “painting that hangs on a mountain, glimmering there in the sun, to show that the people have won.”
The film will premiere on AETN in winter 2009. Later in the year it will be shown in conjunction with Ken Burns’s “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.” Bonus features: music video with an original song and “Buffalo River,” a film by Neil Compton, the man who led the fight to save the Buffalo as a free-flowing stream.
To view a clip from the film visit the “Buffalo Flows” website.
