Does it hurt being that stupid?

I like Osceola.

I was friends of Helen and Charlie Robb. They were party to the lawsuit to stop Truman Dam. Charlie's familiy had owned a Fish Camp on the Osage River for many years and Charlie run a commerciail catfish business. The walls of his house were plastered in photo's of giant catfish that had been caught thru the years. Sad that all that history was lost.

Interesting . I’ve heard some of this story before. But not in depth. I was born/raised in St.L. so spent all summers at Lk. Ozark, and also all over the Ozarks. I don’t remember how old I was but my cousin [ 10 years my senior] , had a petition to stop the damming of the Meramec River . I had him give me one. I got more signatures on it than ANYONE. Must have worked, they did not build it. My favorite river - Niangua. I canoed down it a number of times at summer camp. That whole area is just so beautiful, naturally. 📻🙂

Thank you so much. My Dad grew up in the Ozarks. Now I send him these videos and he loves it. He is in a nursing home back in Missouri and will soon be 90 years young. Please keep posting these! ♥️

Hairy Ass true man dam ….

My grandma lived in the Ozark valley. My Grandpa was from the West Coast and came out to Missouri to build Bagnell Dam. My Grandma brought him sandwiches every day to woo him while he built the monstrosity that would destroy her home. I used to water ski on the Lake at my aunts place when I was a kid. Wild world.

I know I know - white man and capitalism bad

oh boo hoo. such a shame you cant take pictures anymore...

The sacking and killings in Oceola in 1861 was certainly bad I think you got payback directly or indirectly through Quntrail's attack or should I say muderous campaign of Lawrence, KS. I found a member of my family who is burid in Oceola(Dr. William Vaughan) in 1864. Not sure if he was there for the sacking though.

My great-great grandparents were married/lived in Osceola just before the Civil War; luckily they survived the atrocities of the Jayhawkers.

After Truman silts up, it could be a powder keg above Lake Of the Ozarks. Time will tell.

This was a Fargin snooze fest

If we listened to every enviomenleist there would be no progress made in this world. Unfortunately, we all have to make some sacrifices for our needs. Electricity this damn produces , benefits many thousands if not millions of people. In addition, the creation of this lake has created whole new industries and tourism dollars to this area.

Very grateful that they decided to this a long time ago. The benefit it has had for Missouri economically and recreationally is immense. And it will continue to be a huge part of Missouri culture for decades to come. Who doesn’t like going to the lakes?

I’m not sure exactly how the Bagnel Dam changed the Ozarks, but I do know how it is now. Most of the towns that exist in the Lake of the Ozarks area are dependent on tourism. It’s even worse now that the pandemic has basically walled people away and made them less likely to go out, though I can’t really blame them. Personally, I think the greatest tragedy that occurred because of the damming of the Ozarks was the loss of Old Linn Creek. An entire town is in that lake and all of the people who lived there were displaced... There’s a real shame in that, ya know? To suddenly lose your home cause some 20 miles away somebody walled up a river.

My grandparents had a small 113 acre farm in Humansville MO. It was too rocky to grow crops of any big substance but there was enough grass and brush creek for cattle. I remember going there as a child until my grandfather died in 1972. I remember old 7 and 13 highway driving down there and it seemed like days as a child. Now it is divided 4 lanes all the way to Branson. The old farm house is still there, but dilapidated. I love being able to drive from Kansas City to Branson and Table Rock and a few other places down there in 4 hours or better if I drive a little faster, but I do miss the old winding route and dozens of little gas station towns along the way. Progression are all natural and sadly will be the end of us one day. With the political divide now I think that day is not far off.

It's cool to look back from a historical perspective, and being able to see what a great decision it was to build the dam. Shows you can't live in fear. A good reminder.

What a joke. Everyone wants to praise the First Nation people and get all warm and fuzzy about how they didn’t “alter” the environment. UNTIL they get a appendicitis. Then they can’t wait to get to the hospital. In an Osage village you just died. Ah, the natural life!!!!

I am sorry but this is also dishonest journalism. Trying to selectively show only one side of an issue and in so doing only appealing to the feelings of the viewer/reader is dishonest.

That Fr. Hogan refused to take the "loyalty oath" should tell you about sentiments in Missouri regarding the Union. Also, Missouri wasn't inundated with CSA troops during the War. The only CSA forces in the State were the Missouri Partisan Rangers, who did their best to protect Missouri civilians from the Union army. The Union army, before war was even declared, attacked the arsenal in St. Louis, killing about 100 militia and civilians trying to protect it, and ousted the duly elected governor of the State, installing their own Union-sympathetic governor, unelected by the people. The Union army then occupied the State for the duration of the War, killing around 20,000 Missouri civilians for being Southern sympathizers. All Missourians during the War had their guns illegally taken by the Unionists, unless they agreed to join the Union army or the Home Guards. Therefore, civilians executed by the Unionists were unarmed. And although the Unionists called the Missouri Partisan Rangers "bushwackers", the only bushwackers in the State were men who traveled from neighboring States, such as Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska, to prey on defenseless civilians.

My great-uncle's farm was flooded by the Truman lake.

The Civic Theatre! I saw Cool Hand Luke there when I was a kid... what a scream!

I haven't been there since 1981.... I didn't know it had so much history.

i read somewhere that this is where roanoke ridge from rdr2 is based on.

From 7:24 to 7:33, you fleshed out your regressive agenda.

Mm my home town ❤

Was ok ! But the mid Missouri take down of the dams in the Meremac basin and especially the Big River Irondale area and Union Bourbese rivers were a huge mistake! Today many acres and homes could have been saved by daming the Big River, and Bourbese at their previous locations

Leland, Jacob Snell agrees with you!

Great video!

It's interesting. I've read all the comments and the majority of them are for the dams. I'm all for progress. But so many of the people don't really know what's going on. I would call lake of the Ozarks a success. It's brought electricity and tourism to that area. The 2 worse things it did was stop the sturgeon from migrating up the river and force out the people of a low population area. Truman however is an utter failure. Let's start with the dam it's self. It is supposed to be a hydro electric dam to produce power. Out of the 6 turbines at any given at most they run is 2. This is because the dam was built incorrectly. The turbine shafts where put in at the wrong angle. They can only run for about 2 months because the vibration is so bad it blows out the bearings and it takes months and lots of money to fix. Because of the design of the dam it can't be fixed, so will never produce what was promised. The low water dam that was in Osceola put out more than Truman. So the dam it self is a fail. Like most dam projects all the people got forced out of their homes. But it also forced out several large industries. Canneries cheese plants plus several others. Which had a huge impact. Not to mention the obvious farming. People like to mention that the lake brought recreation and tourism which "created jobs" not really it did the opposite. It covered hundreds of fishing camps all along the river. These had people coming from all over the world. These would be completely filled with people and and all the hotels also. The banks would also be lined with just the day people. The people never came back after the lake came, only one hotel is left and it was empty for decades. Most of the businesses that are designed around recreation and tourism generally only last a year or two. The people just don't come to support it. Most of the towns are dead. Osceola is dieing fast and Clinton is pretty stagnant. The only one kinda growing is Warsaw. But most of the people who go there go on lake of the Ozarks and not Truman. So much for recreation and tourism. The lake it self is filling with sediment because it's a muddy river. It's basically a filter for lake of the Ozarks. The Corp of engineers have also permanently lowered the water level. So with that they now have lots of new land and less lake. With little power being produced and less recreation and tourism than there was, they didn't stand up to their promises and is a huge failure. As for flood control when it floods it stays flooded for months because they can't let the water out as is really needed and that is because bagnal dam is on it's last leg and can't handle the influx of the extra water. It's in bad shape it's cracked and leaking to the point no one should live down stream of it. As far as the book I couldn't say. I heard a bit of misinformation in the video that bothers me and don't how much more is in the book.

Rooster Cogburn !

Liberal propaganda at its finest.

I appreciate the video and the book but I got to be honest with you. I'm not sure the facts match up. The paddlefish are doing great and although many farms were definitely flooded we also have to consider the fact that we can now control one of the worst rivers in colonial America when it came to flooding and people being killed or property being lost. I guess it's the better of two evils but not a perfect scenario of course. My opinion is that the biggest loss is ancient artifacts.

Just ordered the book and will get is soon. In honesty I think there needs to be a balance, but I will wait until I read the book to make any real comments.

the Cleanest method of energy and an attraction that ultimately helped people thrive in the area. The only people who were conflicted were Hillbillies.

anarchists/socialists/communists/marxists are the laughing stock of humanity

Let's see here Quantrill and his bushwhacker raiders killed 20 times as many people as did Jim Lane in Osceolo…. Saintly men there!

Yet 100% worth it. Favorite fishing lake.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! I can't take pictures ! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! Forget the billions of wealth created ! Forget the water supply and control ! Forget the tourism and money for the people of Missouri ! Forget ALL of that ! I want my pictures ! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !!

Not sure why you all are giving this subject any of your time! I believe the dams are built, people are using the area for recreation, floods have been controlled(mostly), and you all benefit from renewable power! Good lord you all need to adjust to something, and move ahead! Your forefathers moved on with the changes in their world!

Shhhhhhh! Why the 0zarks is just a fictional place. No need for anyone to seek it out.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

I love how these "types" of people tell the public how bad this is... I live in Clinton....I've never heard anyone say anything bad about about the opportunities brought by the project. Example... You say the paddlefish breeding grounds are gone.. The paddlefish are thriving... The fishing at the reservoir is second to none...people come from all over the country to fish here... We have a beautiful area ....many great things have developed from this project. You want to always tell people how to look at nature...what to do and how to do it... You never take part in anything that is not tainted in controversy..its what drives you... You look at things through clouded eyes.. Actually...I feel sorry for you.

There is nothing wrong with what they did with " damming the osage." Y don't u look at things that r going on in 2000s and not the 1930s. Y don't u talk about highways being built over neighborhoods and houses getting torn down 4 roads? U r a dumb fuck.

Hills?? More like small mountains ⛰
