Episode 95 is available for download.
(1:00:00 minutes, 20.8 MB, MP3)

In 1984, at the age of 70, Madison County farmer Milton Cooper began keeping a diary. His daily writings describe a way of life common to many Ozark rural families, but rarely chronicled--raising chickens, hunting, fishing, gardening, visiting neighbors, going to town for groceries, and welcoming family for weekend visits. For this podcast, museum outreach coordinator Susan Young shares some entries from Milton Cooper’s diaries.
