I was born and raised in Springfield, MO. My mother's side of the family has been in the Ozarks for generations. My interest in that heritage has recently been rekindled, so I'm delighted to find this series of lectures.

Arkansas-Ozarks Geology Professor here. A+ on the geology. Although, it's a little Missouri biased ;) I'm excited to watch through these lectures, I'm sure I'll find some information I use in my own classroom.

I was raised in Crawford county Arkansas and I'm thankful and proud to say that I was raised in the "ozarks"

At Ouachita Baptist University it was supposed to be a trick question with no bonus points on an English test because there was supposed to be no answer. "What is the plural of ya'll?" A no brainer for a Boone county resident. I got extra points with "All ya'll "!

You need to talk one of your geology professor friends into doing an in-depth series of lectures on the geological formation of the Ozarks. I frequently go back and revisit your lectures. I grew up in Ripley County, MO and I love the history of this area.

I live in Southwestern Illinois and the highland areas here and in Southern Illinois are Identified by some as the Illinois Ozarks. I have lived here all of my life and I think of myself as being Ozarkian and I can identify with Ozarkian culture and ideals.

The Main reason Most very SW Illinois area claims to be the border of the Ozarks is because the terrain is Classic Ozark. Come Look….👀
-
I would be happy calling it Ozark Valleys, though Ozark Hollows I think has a better ring. Post all of the lectures if you can this is great for writers trying to break into writing about the history of the land we love.

My family was from Lebanon and Stoutland MO. I retired to S.W. MO.

I grew up in Louisiana, I was in junior high and high school in the 70s. We where not taught that Louisiana was part of the ozarks. We where also taught that Missouri is not a southern state. It is above the mason dixion line.
