The Ozark National Scenic Riverways And The Sagebrush Rebellion In Missouri, John W. Ragsdale Jr
The Ozark National Scenic Riverways And The Sagebrush Rebellion In Missouri, John W. Ragsdale Jr
Faculty Works
This article focuses on the back country-the Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR) and the community around and with the rivers. It begins historically, tracing the origins and courses of stable-state, subsistence agricultural societies in the rugged hills overlooking the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers. It shows that such societies, though autonomous, are vulnerable to outside aggression. War, raiders, industrial timbermen, and modern technology can shatter the environmental balance. Dam builders, government land managers, and tourism can erode internal sovereignty, custom, and self-esteem. These forces befell the Ozark highlands around the ONSR.

Faculty Works
The quest for natural law can easily seem futile to the secularist, and the legal terrain beyond human institutions has often been abandoned to the theologians and the supernaturalists. Most contemporary legal philosophers tend to focus on law as process, on legal positivism and legal realism, on the relativity of values or on the legal masking of class, race or gender interests. This piece will not do direct battle with these philosophies, all of which may have internal integrity and legitimacy within their chosen spheres. Instead, this piece will reexplore the possibility and propriety of linking the reality of law …
