HE people who live in the isolated hill country of Missouri and Arkansas speak a peculiar dialect, derived doubtless from that of the Southern Appalachians, and quite different from the standard sermo vulgaris of the United States in general. This vernacular has been investigated by Crumb,' Carr,2 and Taylor,3 and its vocabulary, pronunciation and grammatical peculiarities are matters of scientific record. When I lived in the Ozarks I was always interested in my neighbors' speech, and have written several papers on the subject myself.4 In one of these5 I discussed the Ozark dialect as used in fiction, dealing with fourteen novels published prior to 1926. The present paper is concerned with such Ozark novels as have appeared in recent years
