Opis

At the beginning of the twentieth century, swamps hosting immense timber resources covered much of Missouri's Bootheel. With drainage, farms replaced cut-over land and mid-western farmers moved to southeast Missouri. The book chronicles the development of this unique region in the context of its geology, history, and sociology.
