Book Description
Gargoyle Country explores the fascinating geological history of southwestern Missouri for general readers. Gargoyles are the charming rock outcrops that flank many roads and highways in this region. Numerous colorful illustrations and useful maps and descriptions direct readers to specific places where the reader can see and touch real geology. Because the region is now heavily populated, historic buildings and various "rockworks" use rocks that once were plentiful but now hard to find in an urbanized environment.
