Mr. Ingenthron includes a wealth of information about the early life in Taney County by describing the schools, post offices, mills, and systems of transportation. As time passes, however, the greatest value of the book my lie in the personal interviews and correspondence with older residents, which provides color and insight into the unique character of Ozark natives.
