As I sit in Branson, MO I can't forget "The Shepherd of the Hills" by Harold Bell Wright.
Mr. Wright wrote the story about the local area in 1907 and offers insight on hill people folklore.
Shepherd of the Hills introduces a strange man who is kind, but holds a grudge in his heart. However, as he meets with the locals and learns about them, he is given the opportunity to forgive and heal.
Shepherd of the Hills went on to become a Hollywood movie in 1941, directed by Henry Hathaway.
Hathaway also directed other westerns, such as True Grit.
The Shepherd of the Hills movie also stars the legendary John Wayne as Young Matt, the story’s hero.
So when I visit Branson, I may visit Shepard of the Hills.
Here I can see a live drama production of Mr. Wright’s Shepherd of the Hills.
Sit under the stars in the outdoor amphitheater and see how love conquers all! Also, I might visit Matt’s Cabin
and...
Inspiration Point, where Harold Bell Wright wrote The Shepherd of the Hills.
Also, Inspiration Point offers the highest views in the area of the Ozark Hills.
Until Tomorrow...
