Osages, Bushwhackers, Etc.:  Self-guided Historical Tours of Vernon County, Missouri 

Researched by members of the Vernon County Historical Society; compiled and edited by Patrick Brophy.  Vernon County boasts as rich a history as any county in the Midwest.  In all too many cases, the historian can only point to an empty spot and lament, “This is where it once was.”  Many of Vernon County’s former communities—spots that once boasted stores, schools, churches, lodges, and even a vibrant local life—few traces can now be found.  Such “ghost towns” are included simply for the sake of completeness because in our experience, former residents or their descendants are often deeply interested.  Paperback, 60 pages, photos, maps, 5½x8¼.
