The stories in this book help you visit a time in Oregon County, Missouri when life was simpler. A time when transportation was more difficult; when low water crossings meant riding river ferries; when driving dirt roads and stopping at a country store was a great day; when community fish fries and dinner on the ground after church was a big event; when getting an education in a one room school not always handy; and a time when lots of families were big and poor but helped each other. Remember other old stories that were special to you and smile as you read this book.
