Front Jacket

An enticing introduction to the pleasures of the Missouri countryside, with lovely pencil sketches by E. J. Thias that portray natural Missouri about as well as I can imagine! Don Corrigan draws on his own childhood experiences with nature and invites us all to share those experiences with words that are personal and thus very meaningful for us. It doesn't get any better than this!-Peter H. Raven, President, Missouri Botanical Garden. Show-Me... Natural Wonders is an escape manual-a guidebook to special places throughout the Missouri region. It shows how natural wonders can provide plenty of refuge and how they're available right here in the heartland. Enter the pages of this book, and you will soon find yourself hiking up tall bluffs; scrambling along the banks of springs and streams; descending into the underground wilderness of Missouri's many caves; or simply kicking back for a rest on a 500-million-year-old boulder in a country glade at sunset.
