“A scene on the White River in The Ozarks. Drawings for it were made in August 1939 while on a float trip down the river. The area presented is now under seventy five feat of water, due to the construction of Bull Shoals dam. However, such scenes are still common in the clear water Ozark rivers which remain free flowing. Twice yearly, Spring and Autumn, I have floated those rivers from many years, fishing, camping out on the sand and gravel bars and just watching the river banks go by. The boy in the picture is my son T.P. Benton.”
