This tradition evolved out of the rocky terrain and economic isolation that has defined the region. During the late 19th and early 20th century there was almost no industry and little commerce in the Ozarks. Logging was the only industry that offered any kind of cash income to Ozark families at the time. Stores that provided basic food supplies were few. Therefore, families had to rely on the natural resources that surrounded them to survive. The terrain was not suitable for row farming. The rivers and springs would provide the sustenance needed to survive. Out of necessity the practice of "gigging" would become an essential skill which ensured a family was well fed.
