My grandpa logged with mules during the depression in the van buren area. Half the town and our family moved out to wa. State,where I was born.

Thanx you for the production of this video. I'm doing internet research for an Ozarks themed narrow gauge railroad set circa @1910. The narration and pictures are complete and priceless for a student of the Ozarks. I have infinite respect for the iron men and women, of all races, that endured work conditions and hardships us 21st century folk could never appreciate. I hope to create a freelance model railroad that does justice to both your extensive research, and to the hardy people of that sliver in time. Keep 'em coming!

In 1949 I was born in Grandin. About a block south of the Grandin Store and the Grandin Hotel. We moved to Illinois for a few years but during my 5th grade school year we moved back. I went to school in Grandin through the 8th grade and attended Ellsinore during my high school years. Many times I've walked through what was left of the sawmill, and fished in the 'Millpond. I used to help put up hay for 75 cents an hour, mow yards for a dollar and sell blackberries for a dollar a gallon. We used to swim in the creek that flows through Grandin and drink water from the Artesian Well. Grandin was a great place to grow up

Great video. I grew up between Doniphan and Grandin. I even worked in the timber industry before going into the service in 1972. My hometown of Doniphan had the largest railroad tie yard up until the 1960s..

I lived in grandin mid 1960s. Great little town. Lived just east of how at 21 by the old railroad track. Played on little black creek. Wow.

Thank you so much for this documentary. I found it while researching for my model railroad, which I wanted to set in the vicinity of Salem & what I call canoe float country.

I just moved to the ozarks 3 years ago and I have a very old railroad track in my back land which is what brought me here

@@forever_alone6606 ok. Got a bad case of hmmmgottaknow. Spend a lot of time walking and searching old trails. Freight trails and railways and possible tribal passages.

[@forever_alone6606]

@@deankenney4316 yea we actually have a old peice of railroad in the back of our yard we never know until we went exploring but we could never go exploring until we got the hay cut

[@deankenney4316]

@@forever_alone6606 we have a possible tribal encampment/ritual site on our property and neighbors. Freight and travel trails. No railway. Hoping tribal historians and a connection they have with a French historian can come together here this spring. But they have a severe discomfort concerning ticks. Lol

I live in Nixa which is pretty close to the Ozarks

I can imagine no OSHA regulations and having to rely on personal smarts and personal responsibility.

While this is nice the original video was stunning
