Hi all

I hope I put this in the right categories!!!!

Every month the MO Conservation Dept puts out a free (to MO residents) magazine.  Usually I only have time to read the cartoon and thumb through the nature pictures.  Today I received the current mag and there was a section on sale items.  This DVD caught my eye and I thought I would pass on the link for anyone else interested.  Bear in mind, I have not seen this video so cannot vouch of it, but I think I may try to get one.

Here is the write-up from their website:

Grandin: In the late 1800s, the Ozark regional boasted the nation's largest sawmill. Still images and video tell the story of the people who worked there, how they lived and what they left behind.
Stamp of Character: In the 1920s, the TJ Moss Tie Company of St. Louis executed the last railroad-tie drive on the Black River. Black-and-white footage brings to life the event's intense manual labor, animal-powered wagons, steam-driven loaders and the creosote-treatment process. Sound-enhanced footage explores the process of manufacturing a railroad cross-tie during a period when forests covered two-thirds of the state. 47 minutes. 

It is $10 + shipping

Anyway, I thought I would pass around the link for anyone interested.  Of course they have a lot of other nature type stuff also.

If interested in the magazine go to http://mdc.mo.gov/user_mailman_register to subscribe.  Now it appears you can get it free as an ezine just like MRH.  The paper mag is $7 per year to out of staters.
