The Beautiful and Enduring Ozarks
By Leland Payton Leland Payton’s photographs focus on wild rivers, back roads, villages, country churches, and farmers with sun-etched faces. Quotes from early explorers and geographers support his concept that the Ozarks has always been, and will likely remain, a cultural and ecological refuge from the changes that sweep over it. A reader praised the book as “a crystallization, a naming of all that uniqueness as I find in the Ozarks…a modern classic.” The Resourceful Traveler, Chicago Tribune. Softcover; 8 x 8 inches, 80 pages, $19.95. See the Ozarks: The Touristic Image What lured Victorian travelers to the Ozarks?
