Vol. 27, No.4

Volume 27, No 4  has a cover showing a series of fog-shrouded hills. By turning the page, the reader finds a dense forest on one side, Garden of the Gods on the other.

"From My Kitchen Window" by Dixie Terry follows Springhouse Ink, Ozark Echoes, and another chapter from the endless musings of Rebel Without Applause.  John Lesjack's article about a young man in Harrisburg who proved to be a hero in a moment of crises, is followed by Tom Martin's colorful account of growing up in Shawneetown. Martin's friend, William Hayes, contributes Shawneetown reminisces of his own.

The Saga of John Banvard tells of a young artist who dreamed big. Really big! One would think the artist's name would be a household word. as a result of all that heavy duty dreaming. Not so, and Springhouse tells why. Following is  the most mysterious feature in this issue, "A Fable" by someone named Anonymous.

Springhouse favorites John J. Dunphy, Paul Stroble, Kestner Wallace and William Searles add their stories and articles to the mix.

Page 48 features the ongoing debate as to whether southern Illinois should have as its icon Old Stone Face or Camel Rock. The Rebel Without Applause, a man who has never bowed to public opinion on anything, dismisses the camel outright and does so with  fervor..

Volume 27 Number 4 begins with fog and ends with a giant butterfly.

The Rebel notwithstanding, it is a peaceable issue.

Mostly.
