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.

Past
Perfect: The Tales of Town and ‘Round
By Patrick Brophy. For perhaps too long, this obviously
unreconstructed, non-expert, crotchety, contrary, “old timer” has inflicted

the best of the crop, some 75 essays, all fully rewritten and improved, plus
some never before seen, have been gathered under one cover. Winner of
Author’s Award 1996-97 State Historical Society of Missouri. Quality
paperback, full color cover, 375 pages, 60 photos, maps, index, 5½x8¼
