    Information Sheet R Cullimore family. 1090 Collection, 1973-1992. Four folders. This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. These are papers of the Cullimore family of journalists and outdoor writers. The collection consists of correspondence between Donald B. “Rocky” Cullimore and Dan Saults, and a compi- lation of Saults’s articles in Branson and Springfield, Missouri, newspapers. This collection represents the first installment of what will be a much larger assemblage of Cullimore family papers. It centers on conservationist and author Dan Saults, a close friend of the Cullimore family, and supplements materials in the Saults collection (WHMC-Rolla R403). Saults was a leader in promoting conservation efforts in Missouri. A native of Knob Noster, Mis- souri, he bought the Knob Noster Weekly Gem after graduating from the University of Missouri School of Journalism. He operated the paper until World War Two. Saults served as an officer in the 339th Infantry Regiment in North Africa and Italy during the war, after which he spent a year in Texas. In 1947, Saults joined the Missouri Department of Conservation, heading the depart- ment’s information service and editing the Missouri Conservationist. Later he became the deputy director of the department. In 1964, Saults joined the U. S. Department of the Interior and moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked with the Bureau of Land Management and the Fish and Wildlife Service. He retired in 1973. Saults and his wife, Helen, a former National Park Service employee, moved to a home near Branson, Missouri.

    Missouri State Parks 21 for ‘21 Challenge

    Missouri State Parks 21 for ‘21 Challenge Long before statehood, Missouri’s natural resources formed into livable, sustainable landscapes for animals and humans. These landscapes would eventually become the main features for many of our Missouri State Parks. Explore unique natural wonders, learn about native peoples, and experience Missouri as people 200 years ago would have. Listed here are 21 parks and sites to explore in 2021. The Missouri State Parks 21 for ‘21 Challenge is sponsored by Missouri State Parks, a division of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Missouri State Parks preserves and interprets the state's most outstanding natural landscapes and cultural landmarks, and provides outstanding recreational opportunities compatible with those resources. The state park system includes 91 state parks and historic sites plus the trails at Roger Pryor Pioneer Backcountry. The system includes sites that preserve the archaeological record of indigenous people that lived in the region long before Missouri became a state; homes of famous Missourians and Civil War battlefields; and reminders of yesterday such as gristmills and covered bridges. The state's most outstanding landscapes are also preserved for everyone's enjoyment – deep forests, glades, prairies and blue streams and lakes. There is something for everyone at Missouri State Parks! Missouri State Parks 21 for ‘21 Challenge … Visit at least 5 sites. Remember: Missouri Explorers must be registered in the program, and they are responsible for checking hours and availability of sites. Upload your verification photographs using the online submission form at https://missouri2021.org/missouri-explorers/ to receive your merit badge button. Remember, Missouri Explorers, you are responsible for checking hours and availability of sites before arriving.

    P0016 Massie, Gerald R. (1911-1989), Photographs 497 photographs This collection is available at The State Historical Society of Missouri. If you would like more information, please contact us at [email protected]. INTRODUCTION Photographs of scenes across Missouri, many taken as part of Massie's work as Missouri's state photographer. Events highlighted include Winston Churchill's visit to Fulton, Governor Hearnes' inaugural celebrations in 1965 and 1969, and the Battle of Pilot Knob Centennial commemoration in 1964. The collection includes extensive coverage of the Missouri State Capitol building. Geographically, the collection covers much of Missouri, with particular focus on tourist destinations: St. Louis, Kansas City, Hannibal, Ste. Genevieve, and the Ozarks. DONOR INFORMATION The collection was donated to the State Historical Society of Missouri by Gerald Massie on February 28, 1980. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Gerald R. Massie, photographer, was born on September 22, 1911 in Clinton, Missouri. As a child, he won a Brownie camera and began his interest in photography. His early jobs were in newspapers, setting type, while continuing to practice photography as a freelancer. In 1942, Massie was drafted into the Army, where he served as an aerial and news photographer, and supervised a photo lab. Following the war, in 1945, Massie became Missouri’s first official state photographer as part of the Resources and Development Commission, a position he held until his retirement in 1974. Massie photographed Missouri parks, natural and historic sites, industry, business, and agriculture and his work was used extensively in promoting Missouri as a destination for recreation and economic development. Massie married Henrietta L.
  • Bryophytes of Big Oak Tree State Park, Mississippi County, Missouri

    Bryophytes of Big Oak Tree State Park, Mississippi County, Missouri

    Missouriensis, 36: 4-14. 2018. *pdf effectively published online 30 December 2018 via https://monativeplants.org/missouriensis Bryophytes of Big Oak Tree State Park, Mississippi County, Missouri JOHN J. ATWOOD1 AND NELS J. HOLMBERG2 ABSTRACT. — An inventory of the bryophytes of Big Oak Tree State Park in southeastern Missouri documented 70 species (60 mosses, 9 liverworts, and 1 hornwort). About half of these species are new distribution records for Mississippi County or are newly documented for the Mississippi Lowlands Natural Division in Missouri. Fissidens hallianus is newly documented for the state. Four mosses (Gemmabryum klinggraeffii [S1], Pylaisiadelpha tenuirostris [S2], Rosulabryum flaccidum [S2], and Trematodon longicollis [S2]) and a hornwort (Phaeoceros oreganus [S1]), are of conservation concern in Missouri. INTRODUCTION The Mississippi alluvial embayment extends from southeastern Missouri to the Gulf of Mexico along the floodplain of the Mississippi River. The area is comprised mostly of agricultural fields and wet irrigation ditches, swampy lowland forests, as well as sand prairies and savannas. At the northern edge of this broad basin is Big Oak Tree State Park in Mississippi County (Figure 1). It contains remnants of dense bottomland forest that covered Missouri’s southeastern-most counties from pre-settlement until the early 20th century. By the 1920s, more than half of this forest had been logged, with additional logging, expanded agricultural interests, and government assisted drainage projects continuing deforestation through the proceeding decades (Doolen 1984; Korte and Fredrickson 1977). By the 1930s, statewide public outcry about the disappearing forest resulted in a campaign to save a particularly large burr oak (Quercus macrocarpa Michx.), as well as 80 acres of surrounding old growth forest.
