A Girl of the Ozarks is a very rich, real-life account of Washington State adventurer, Iorn Northup, and the lovely Ozark-born, Susan Yingst--two very different and engaging people whose lives are improbably intertwined. Set in the majestic forests of Washington State and the beautiful Arkansas Ozarks in the early 1900's, author Ettie Northup Parker, with the assistance of her daughter, Joyce, are remarkable writers who astutely capture the authenticity and realism of life for the two pioneering people--Northup and Yingst.
