Oakland Posts From Ozark Country A Tale Of Mountain Life
The Lyons two travelers Leon ard Noel and James Drury haul 400 red cedar posts from Harrison Arkansas to Monticello Missouri twice weekly. Their 1200 to 1400 mile round trips pass through the Ozarks and Shepherd of the Hills country into Iowa. They exchange posts for feed and sell in rough, primitive townships with two room oak shacks and sparse bridges. Life is simple with wild game and primitive water pumps using cave spouts. The hill folk are hospitable yet wary of strangers, and a public hanging is noted as part of the local rough justice.
