Discussion of the precise nature and position of boundaries between dis ciplines is nearly always counterproductive; the need is usually to cross them not to emphasize them. And any such discussion of the distinction between ethology and comparative psychology would today seem patently absurd. While there may be differences in outlook, no boundaries exist. But when Frank Beach started in research, that was not the case. Comparative psychology flourished in the United States whereas ethology was unknown. Beach started as a comparative psychologist and has always called himself either that or a behavioral endocrinologist. Yet, among the com parative psychologists of his generation, he has had closer links with the initially European ethologists than almost any other. He was indeed one of the editors of the first volume of Behaviour. That this should have been so is not surprising once one knows that his Ph. D. thesis concerned "The Neural Basis for Innate Behavior," that he used to sleep in the laboratory so that he could watch mother rats giving birth, and that in 1935 he was using model young to analyze maternal behavior. Furthermore, for nine years he worked in the American Museum of Natural History-in a department first named Experimental Biology and later, when Beach had saved it from extinction and become its chairman, the Department of Animal Behavior. It was in 1938, during Frank's time at the American Museum, that he was first introduced to Niko Tinbergen by Ernst Mayr.

In 1960 in the small, riverfront Ozark town, Branson, the makings of one of the most unusual towns in America were just barely discernible. Indeed, those at the time involved in the endeavor were simply trying to make a living, pay their bills, and support their families. They had absolutely no idea of the magnitude to which their early efforts would grow.  This is the story of those first Branson entertainers as they traveled an uncharted course in a most unlikely place. In 1960 a few thousand visitors vacationed in Branson; in 2010 its estimated about eight million visitors will visit the town. It s a success story with few equals and the achievement rests on the efforts of these first entertainment pioneers.  Acknowledgements   One of the joys of my childhood growing up in the Ozarks was to visit Branson and Silver Dollar City on family outing. These visits spurred my lifelong fascination with the area.  Later, in the mid 1970 s, I was employed at Galena, Missouri, a distance of forty miles from Branson. At that time, with a family of my own, we attempted to attend every show in Branson as well as Silver Dollar City the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama, the Baldknobbers, the Presley s Country Jubilee, the Foggy River Boys, the Bob-O-Link s, and on and on it went, for several years. We watched the town develop and often heard the skeptical question so common throughout the Ozarks Branson s doing fine, but it sure won t last, will it?  I wrote my first article about Branson in the late 1980s for a book that I published, In the Heart of Ozark Mountain Country, and for that article conducted my first interview with several people who are a part of this book, Peter Herschend, Peter Engler, Bill, Bob, and Lyle Mabe, Lloyd and Bessie Mae Presley, and Bob Hubbard. All told stories about their participation in the development of Branson.  Twenty years later, in the early 2000 s, I was the director of Ozark Adventures, a not-for-profit organization in Branson, that decided to archive the stories of the men and families who created the entertainment industry. Thus, I was able, again, to interview many of the same people that I had interviewed twenty years earlier Bob Mabe, Randy Plummer and, in a second separate interview, Randy, Darrell and Rosie Plummer, Peter Engler, Jack Herschend, Lloyd, Steve, and Gary Presley, Bob Dixon, and Bob Hubbard. Sarah Klinefelter, took the lead in interviewing Mark Trimble. Dick Erickson conducted the second interview with the Plummer family and was a tremendous help throughout the whole process of conducting these interviews. In follow up conversations, at least one member of each of the venues has generously given time and encouragement to this project.  In particular, I want to acknowledge the story Kathy Van Buskirk wrote on the Shepherd of the Hills for the book, In the Heart of Ozark Mountain Country. Kathy was a very careful historian and good storyteller,.  Many have contributed to the content of this book. In particular, I want to thank a former officemate, Karen Pugh, for her several suggestions and Beverly and Keith O Neil for their insights into Branson. The newspaper articles and book, Branson, the Music Show Capitol of the World, by Jimmy Lancaster, the tenacious entertainment reporter for the Branson Daily News during the 1990 s were also most helpful. Dan Lennon has provided information and Evelyn Fullerton, Keith Thurman, and Jean Babcock have supplied photographs as well as Martha Hoy Bohner and Lisa Rau from Silver Dollar City.  My heart felt thanks to all who have made a contribution.
