The Boston Mountains: Lost in the Ozarks by Velda Brotherton
The Boston Mountains lie in the heart of the Ozarks and sprawl throughout Arkansas and into a small portion of Oklahoma.
The rolling hills are covered with tall oak trees and hundreds of small, meandering, spring-fed, clear-water streams.
Those streams and rivers are the favorite haunts of Arkansas and Oklahoma fishermen and hunters. The land is home to
whitetail deer, mountain lions, black bears, and a thousand other woodland creatures. |

Historic Inns and Eateries in the State of Jefferson The most common question asked of residents of this part of the country is: Does the State of Jefferson
REALLY exist?
The answer is a resounding, "Yes, the State of Jefferson exists, and it exists as more than a fantasy."
According to many who reside here, the real State of Jefferson, however, is characterized by a state of mind, not a state with borders.
Thus, today's Jefferson-staters can be found in counties along the California coast or down in the Sacramento Valley, near the Nevada
state line, or across southern Oregon, which means there are potentially more areas that claim the designation than those included in
this guidebook. We have selected, therefore, those counties that have been consistently identified with the geographical boundaries of
the one-time "49th" state and today's "proposed 51st" state.
