Going Public: Back to the 1920s in "Twelve Corners - The Refuge of My Youth"

It's time to travel back to the 1920s and learn what life was life in the Ozarks of Missouri. The Center for Regional History and University Press at Southeast Missouri State University collaborated to produce "Twelve Corners - The Refuge of My Youth."

The book of short stories was written by Ruby Allee Wright and gives the reader a glimpse of what life was like in Brumley, Missouri, in the Ozarks in the 1920s. Dan Woods spoke with Dr. Adam Criblez, Director of the Center for Regional History. He said fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder will likely enjoy the book.

Criblez said it is available on Amazon by searching "Twelve Corners" and can also be purchased at the Center on the Southeast campus. More information is available at (573) 651-2555.
