The Turner family epitomized early 20th century life in the Ozarks, and their daily lives were captured in more than 400 images.

Pictured here is a large family gathered around a table outside. Charley and Otto Turner are pictured in the front row, fourth and fifth from the left.

Iggi from the Republic Branch Library recommends "GCPD: The Blue Wall" by John Ridley and Stefano Raffaele.

"'GCPD: The Blue Wall' is a cop story that happens to be set in Batman's Gotham, not a superhero story with cops as I expected. And it goes hard. The story is told from four perspectives, Renee Montoya, quickly becoming hardened by her position as commissioner and three fresh grads from police academy. The story is masterfully messy and confusing. The art is sharp but brushy, the colors toned down without being washed out. And the writing… it took me a while to get that the text at the end of every page was the start of a new one but that little hook worked so well with the interpersonal, tangled-up nature of the violence and plot. Pick this one up if you like me like to think about Gotham beyond the bat family or are a fan of modern police noir."
