Peanuts Of The Ozark Hills

Peanuts of the Ozark Hills is a collection of true stories about a boy who had the nickname Peanuts. The Ozark Hills is the region of Missouri where he was born and raised in the early 1930s. The stories in this book are actual things and experiences that took place in Peanuts's life. This book will take you back to a simpler time and a simpler way of life in the Ozark Hills. Reading of his adventures may even give you a chuckle or two, but it is not meant to give young people any ideas. But they will truly enjoy it, or so his grandson says.

What really lurks under your bed? Would you like to know about the madness of clowns - or the helpless cries of the Doughboy as he’s stuffed into the oven? Perhaps you fear being trapped in an elevator...for a rather long period of time. Or going on vacation... to a land where screams are eternal, and the tears are rivers of red. But be careful when crossing the Cith Bridge, for the creatures there feast on things that are not quite... wholesome. If this sounds like your kind of journey, let Don Broyles be your guide in Doughboy And Other Strange Tales. This book contains adult content and is not recommended for readers under the age of 18.

Bartell takes you back in time, spanning the early 1900s through 1940s, with these colorful stories taken from the memories of the eight amazing Moulder girls.

"Morrow and Myers-Phinney excavate the beginnings of commercial tourism in the region and follow it through six decades as the influx of visitors who became familiar with the Ozarks and its investment opportunities brought capital, new commerce, and additional residents to the hills."--BOOK JACKET.
