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.
