Observations by Early Travelers In early 1884 several traveling salesmen walked across the upper Bryant Creek Watershed. They came up from Arkansas along the train tracks from Mammoth Springs to West Plains. From West Plains they followed the railroad to Willow Springs, then headed west towards Springfield, through Cabool, Mountain Grove, Norwood and Mansfield. One of them kept a journal describing what he called their "peddling." This journal tells us a little about the land, towns and life of the Ozarks in 1884. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````` The men bought goods, referred to as "notions," in Arkansas to sell on their trip. They bought the goods with money they earned selling fish they caught in the White River in Arkansas. Notions are things like needles and thread, knives and buttons. Such small, useful items were scarce on the frontier. They were also easy for a peddler to carry. The men made good money selling notions. In just a half a day in Willow Springs, the men sold $4.65 worth of goods, which was a lot of money in those days. They had problems selling their wares in some towns, however. Local merchants sometimes didn't like strange travelers taking business away from their stores. In Thayer, the sheriff even took the full pack of goods one of the salemen was carrying because he didn't have a merchant's license. Furthur west, in Joplin, some cows trampled their tent, and then the cattle herders robbed them. Among the items the cattle herders stole was a nickel-plated British "Bulldog" revolver that was worth a whole dollar! When the travelers left Willow Springs, they were convinced that robbers were following and planned to ambush them. The salesmen left the road and walked cross-country to Mountain Grove. They passed over hills covered with thick blackjack oak, and made their way across beautiful valleys with streams running clear, clean water. At that time much of that countryside was open or semi-open grassland, with widely spaced trees. Prairie grasses and flowers grew beneath the trees. The salesman who wrote the journal noted that the land between Cabool and Mountain Grove was some of the best pasture land they had seen on their travels. There were also forests of dense tree cover that made travel difficult. Near Willow Springs they saw very large pine lumber yards and mills. Cabool had a sawmill and good lumber yards, and was described as "finely situated and improving." Mansfield also had a sawmill and heavier timber. For those people who wanted to homestead in the area, the federal government still had land available. There was 75,000 acres of homestead land available in Douglas County, 125,000 in Ozark County and 25,000 in Wright County. This land could be had for a $2 filing fee plus $6 for a 40 acre plot. It cost only $14 dollars to homestead 160 acres of land!

http://www.smsu.edu/folksong/maxhunter/index.html The Max Hunter Collection is an archive of almost 1600 Ozark Mountain folk songs, recorded between 1956 and 1976. A traveling salesman from Springfield, Missouri, Hunter took his reel-to-reel tape recorder into the hills and backwoods of the Ozarks, preserving the heritage of the region by recording the songs and stories of many generations of Ozark history. As important as the songs themselves are the voices of the Missouri and Arkansas folks who shared their talents and recollections with Hunter. Designed to give increased public access to this unique and invaluable resource, this site is a joint project of the Southwest Missouri State University Department of Music and the Springfield-Greene County Library in Springfield, Missouri, where the permanent collection is housed. Please note: This site is currently under development. We have only a portion of the entire Collection available at this time. If you don't find what you're looking for, there's a chance that it's in the Collection, but not yet on the site. Please come back and check again later. The Title index and the Catalogue index are complete. Each of the 1,594 distinct song recordings is listed in these indexes. If a song title does not have a link, it has not yet been digitized and placed on the website. We aim to have the entire Collection available by Summer, 2003. The Singer index is not yet complete, and it will be updated as songs are placed online.

My grandmother left two references in her family history book. One said my grandfather Tom Boylan was born in Marble Hill in 1870 and the other said Stone Hill in 1870. Can not find a Boylan family in Bollinger County. Could some body please look up the 1870 census in Dent County and see if a John Boylan (MY GF F) was listed. Thanks for your help. I want to come to his birth place but do not have time to visit both towns. Dave Boylan
