No short answer to this one! Get comfortable....
It's the heart of Missouri, blooded of three,
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee.
It's a tall spare man on a bluegrass hoss,
It's sugar-cured ham without raisin sauce.

1) Heart of Little Dixie: Audrain, Boone, Callaway, Howard, Monroe and Randolph counties. (2) Outer Little Dixie: Carroll, Chariton, Cooper, Lafayette, Ralls, Pike and Saline counties. and...(3) Border Little Dixie: Clay (home of the James boys), Cole, Jackson, Lewis, Lincoln, Macon, Marion, Moniteau, Pike, Platte and Ray counties.
