This publication is volume 1 of a two-volume set on the geology of the Ouachita Mountains. The symposium is dedicated to Hugh D. Miser and contains 4 papers in the dedication section relating to Dr. Miser, his life and times, and a selected bibliography of his work. This volume contains 13 papers covering such diverse topics as stratigraphy, structure, petrography, tectonics, and paleontology of the Ouachita sedimentary deposits.
