Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Devonian of Missouri The data for the report contained in this bulletin were collected by the writer and his assistants during six field seasons. During June, July, and August of 1914, J. P. Connolly and Chester Longwell assisted in mapping and collecting; Mr. Connolly mapped during June of 1915; in June and July of 1917, several advanced students assisted in mapping and collecting; G. P. Moore and E. 0. Markham were field assistants the summer of 1918; V. W. Vandiver collected during July and August of 1919; G. P. Moore and V. W. Vandiver mapped the Devonian of Ralls County in 1919; and Roy H. Hall mapped part of Moniteau County in 1921. Mr. D. K. Greger knew the Devonian of Callaway County very thoroughly before the field work for the report was begun and helped out the investigation from his information. He collected from the Devonian of Montgomery County during June and part of July, 1914. The topographic maps of the United States Geological Survey for the region studied are Old, half-inch scale, and fifty foot contour interval, and are entirely unsatisfactory for accurate mapping. The base finally used for most of the work was a large scale county map with contour lines supplied from the United States Geological Survey contour maps. The contours were corrected to make them fit conditions as found in the field. A two-inch scale was used for all mapping in. Boone, Callaway, Montgomery, Warren and Moniteau Counties, and the U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps were the base for the other areas. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Devonian Fishes of Missouri Mr. Rowley says of the occurrence of these fossils: I have found them in the one-foot dark blue shale under the Louisiana or lithographic limestone, from the top of the shale quite to the bottom, but most abundant from the middle to the top. Just under the Louisiana limestone is a thin band of yellow sandy shale, from a fraction of an inch to two and one-half inches thick, well filled with the same fossils as the limestone above. In places, especially where the yellow shale is thin, the fossils extend downward, sometimes two or three inches, thus invading the fish bone horizon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geology and Mineral Products of Missouri The State of Missouri is located in the central portion of the United States, in that region known as the Mississippi valley. It is bounded on the east by the Mississippi river, on the south by the lines 36 and 30 30 of north latitude, and on the west by the meridian which passes through the mouth of the Kansas river at latitude 39 7', and longitude 94 37'. Thence the boundary line follows the Missouri river in a northwesterly direction to a point at about latitude 40 34 2/3', longitude 95 . This is the northwestern corner of the State, and thence the northern boundary line extends eastwards approximately along the line of same latitude to the Des Moines river, which it intersects at longitude 91-1, about 25 miles above the mouth of that stream. The area of the State, according to the figures of the eleventh census of the United States, is 69,415 square miles. Physiography. Generally speaking, the whole State is an incised plain; no great mountain ranges traverse it. The maximum difference of absolute elevation within the whole area is only 1,500 feet; the local and relative differences are still less, and do not exceed 700 feet. More closely speaking, the following four topographic divisions may be recognized: (1.) A plain or prairie country. (2.) A plateau country. (3.) A highland or semi-mountainous country. (4.) An alluvial or swamp country. (1.) The Prairie Country. - The prairie country of the State is principally represented in the northern portion, and in that part north of the Missouri river; it also occupies, however, nearly all of the two tiers of counties south of that stream which extend along the Kansas line. Adjacent to the Missouri river and to other large streams this country loses its prairie features and is rugged and characterized by steep, timbered slopes and bluffs adjacent to and bordering the flood plains of these streams. Away from the channels, however, the country assumes the character of a broad plain, sometimes flat, but generally undulating. In fact the local differences of elevation often amount to 100 feet or more, but the slopes are so gentle that the country does not lose the aspect of a plain. The growth of trees is here not abundant, excepting along the streams. It must, however, be understood that, though a comparatively level and treeless country, it is of a very different type from the great flat plains of Western Kansas. (2.) The Plateau Country. - The plateau country of the State occupies the central southern part, south of the Missouri river. This is the area known as the Ozark Mountains, and is essentially a dome-shaped uplift, with very gentle quaquaversal slopes. It differs from the prairie country chiefly in its greater relative altitude, and in that it is not covered by a protecting and modifying coat of glacial material. As a result the land is more pronouncedly sculptured. The valleys are cut deeper, and the slopes are more abrupt; the area is made up of a series of long ridges and hills, divided by deep narrow valleys, often oi carbon-like dimensions. Timber is abundant, but, on the other hand, the land is generally less fertile than that of the northern portion of the State. Near the crest of the Ozarks the type of topography is not nearly so pronounced, and we have here quite a large expanse of undulating country; thence, in all directions, however, the streams cut deeper and deeper, and the profile becomes more serrated. (3.) The Highland Country. - What we term for convenience the highland or semi-mountainous country, lies in Southeastern Missouri, and includes what we have named the St. Francois mountains. These are a series of knobs and domes of Archean porphyry and granite which rise to altitudes of from 1,700 to 1,800 feet, A.T., and some 700 feet above the surrounding valleys. The whole area covered by these mountains is not over 1,000 square miles. These are d."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from At You-All's House: A Missouri Nature Story The difference between Miss Jewett's New England farmer and Miss Murfree's Tennes see mountaineer cannot be explained unless one takes into account those differences of natural environment which, in the end: find expression in moral and social conditions. Mr. Baskett has run the thread of the love story told in these pages through rural experi ences of many kinds, in the hope of bringing before the imagination the world Of Missouri farm life, and of illustrating some of those ways of human helpfulness which make for the increase of knowledge as well as of hap piness. In such a study the imagination can not rest in the mere knowledge of natural facts, but passes on to those ultimate ideas which not only ennoble but interpret human life. If, in this process, Nature becomes more spiritual and comprehensible, faith in the great spiritual verities will be deepened without the loss Of any element Of interest from the story.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Missouri Cook Book: Proved Recipes When we first thought of compiling and selling these recipes, the amount that would thus be brought into the Lord's treasury was our paramount object, but as we have studied how to be most helpful to those who will patronize us, our solicitude to give back to them value received, has almost overwhelmed every other idea, for we would bring no reproach upon the cause to which our efforts are dedicated. We claim no originality for our work. Like the bee that sips the sweetness of every ower, we have gathered suggestions wherever we could find them. The recipes we offer have been used by the best house-keepers, in our own and other communities, and we bespeak for them a kindly reception and fair trial. As the book goes forth to stranger and friend. Our work is done. We have brought our loaves and fishes to the Master. May His hand direct the distribution, and bless the Offering that we lay down at His feet. We do most sincerely express our thanks to the many ladies who have contributed their recipes, and also, to the advertisers who have so kindly aided in accomplishing our work.
