Ozark Superstitions

Abstract

THE Ozark country, or Ozarkland as it is sometimes called, covers some fifty or sixty thousand square miles and extends over the southern half of Missouri, the north-west of Arkansas and a few counties in Oklahoma. Although it is often considered to be a mountainous country, the hills are scarcely more than about two thousand feet, and the country consists of wooded land, gorges and ravines.
