Download or read book The Kid Looks Back Short Stories Tall Tales written by Ritchie R. Moorhead and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kid Looks Back is a collection of sixty-eight stories that cover a wide range of topics. I hope that his book will be a gentle hiding place where you can go to get away from something, return to something or go where you have never been. Some of these stories are true. Others are factually true, although bit embellished. Others are outright fabrications. Most look back to a kinder, mellower time. Digging for worms, swimming in a pond, using an outhouse or wading in a river may bring gross evaluations from our urbanized cousins. I hope that this book introduces them to life with a smile. Most of the stories have a message. Many are simply humorous. Entertainment is the motive. Carefree is the mood. Try to find yourself within these pages. May the beak of reality crack your comfort shell. Start anywhere. Finish anytime. Enjoy!

They serve him with a final order of deportation. The officers want to test the limits of the citizen birthright provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment to the constitution and have documented that George's ancestors were indentured servants who never reported for work when they arrived, making them and their progeny illegal aliens. The locals in the hollow seek the help of a weekender, James Claiborne, an immigration lawyer in Washington, D.C. Then the adventure begins: difficult legal questions, corruption, and intrigue. Claiborne has to learn about the complicated social structure in the redneck community. He realizes that basically they are similar to any one of the many ethnic groups he works with in his law office who have kept their cultural identity as they merge into mainstream American. It is also a community dealing with its own renaissance and fascinating cultural aspects. When reading the book, you will become part of this cultural movement and begin to understand a community that is part of the American melting pot. 1
