Otto Benton

A Boy from the Ozarks Otto Benton

Full Color! This book contains heartwarming, humorous, and entertaining memories of a boy from the Missouri Ozarks in the early 1900s. Every member of the family will enjoy reading about the exploits of young Otto; the country medicine of Grandma Benton; horse trading techniques; the "moonshine" stills back in the woods; and the Revenue man who never came back! Even if you aren't a descendant from these early families, you will love the stories of the Missouri Ozarks. Stunning photos of the Missouri countryside draw you into the stories. Lovingly edited by Otto's granddaughter, this is a book that young and old can read with delight. You won't want to put it down. Before you finish you'll be speaking with a Missouri accent and you will fall in love with a spunky boy who grew up to be the world's greatest dad and grandfather anyone could hope to have.
