DAVID HARVEY MAXWELL AND THE HISTORY OF STONE COUNTY AND BRANSON!
The Goodspeed's History of Barry County shows that David Harvey Maxwell was a Physician, as does several Census reports. There has been much speculation about where he recieved his medical degree. Theanswer is, he probably never had one. His last assignment in the Civil War was in a field Surgical Unit. Today, we would call this a M.A.S.H. unit.
Post Civil War, in the Ozark Mountians, was extreamly wild and dangerous. At the time of David's arrival, John Kemberling and Jim Philibert had begun construction of the Wilderness Road of the Ozarks.Using Civil War Vets for labour, they hacked out a road from Springfield, Missouri to Barryville, Arkansas. The new railhead was to be built in Springfield. So, it was important to have a way to movegoods and livestock to the railhead. Hundreds were employeed to work on the Wilderness Road. Soon, even more hundreds settled and started farming along the Wilderness Road. These People need medical services, and with his training during the Civil War, David provided those services.
About this time, a young minister, Harold Bell Wright, came to the Ozarks. His Church was in Pierce City, in Lawrence County. But, he spent much of his time in the Ozarks. He loved the people so much that he wrote several books about the people and the area. One book, The Shepherd of the Hills, was a best seller. So many came to Stone County to see where the book was written, that it soon became apopular tourest area. At first there was just a few places to see, but with the construction of Table Rock Lake on the James and White River, it became even more popular. Silver Dollar City, sprang up, and nearby Branson in Taney County became one of the most visited areas in the U.S.
Until his death in 1905, Dr. David Harvey Maxwell provided medical services to the workers on the Wilderness Road, and to the locals that Harold Bell Wright wrote about in The Shepherd of the Hills. You can still find the Wilderness Road on a map, just look for HWY 13 from Springfield to Kemberling Cit, and on ito Arkansas.
