The publication of the first Ozark Cousins in 1974 created much interest in this type of research and consequently a plea for more. He has gathered data on Ozark families and their connections in distant places. Many of these families were his relatives, acquaintances and friends. Families that lived in Boone County, Searcy County, the Piney Creek area of Newton and Johnson Counties area are featured. There are 14 different chapters on these families. In each section, he talks about the families that lived in that area. Many humorous stories are told about these families as well as their genealogy. He touches on so very many families that they could not possibly all be listed here. I have had my copy of this book since about 1980 and used it to get started in my research of the folks in this area. It is a good, basic start for research in this area. Bud wrote this book when he lived in Bristol, Virginia. He has written several other books. His books are listed on this website if you want to take a look. http://www.overmtn.com/Pages/btnva.html
