The Geography of the Ozark Highland of Missouri 



By CARL ORTWIN SAUER, the University of Michigan 

 (Publications of the Geographic Society of Chicago) 



The Ozark Highland of Missouri was selected for investigation because of its 

 unusual wealth of geographic responses and because little is known concerning its con- 

 ditions and possibilities. 



The purpose of such a study is twofold: to furnish an adequate explanation of 

 the conditions of life in a given area, and to contribute proved statements which wUl 

 aid in working out fundamental principles. 



The book is divided into three parts. The first is an outUne of the environment. 

 Only those things which are pertinent to an understanding of the conditions under which 

 the people live are introduced. 



The second part considers the influence of environment on the settlement and develop- 

 ment of the different parts of the highland. 



The third part is a study of the economic conditions as they exist today. In conclusion 

 a forecast is offered of the lines along which the future of the region will be worked out. 



A valuable feature of the volume is the 44 figures in the text and 26 plates.

FROM THE PREFACE 



"In telling the story of this search for the mode by which the earth came 

 into being, we have let the incidents that led the inquiry on from one stage to 

 another fall in with the steps of the inquiry itself. It is in keeping with the 

 purposes of this series of booklets that the motives which set researches going 



should have their place with the quests that arose from them The final 



story of the birth of the earth will come only after a time, when the vestiges of 

 creation have been more keenly discerned and more faithfully rendered than is 

 possible now."
