Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wayne Easter grew up during the Great Depression; on a small hillside farm in northwest North Carolina. His is the story of all who grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in earlier times. He describes the work and play, the seasons, the trials and tribulations and the joys of running free in the hills and valleys of home. As he tells it: "If you traveled the foothills of the Blue Ridge in the Nineteen Thirties, you probably met my family. We lived on a one-horse red-dirt farm, with no automobile, no electricity and almost no money. We heard rumors of a depression, but with hard times already the way of life, we just kept digging in the ground." "We lived broke and barefooted in the backwoods, so far down the economic ladder, there was no way to go but up. As time passed, our situation improved and we began a long uphill climb into the Twentieth Century." "My story includes 145 plus photos and drawings, has not been professionally edited and was written as I thought it sounded best. You may find an occasional mistake, but I hope you enjoy my trip down memory lane, to a time that will not come our way again."

Book excerpt: "Roads once Traveled" follows the author's first book, "In the Foothills of Home," which described life on a small farm in northwest North Carolina during and after the Great Depression. "Roads" is about the friends, neighbors and kinfolks who lived along a half-dozen roads in the same area. Included are photos of the people he knew best, along with photos and drawings of their homes and buildings, and stories of how they lived, worked and played. As Mr. Easter tells it, "There were no millionaires in our world, and some families barely had a roof over their heads. As time passed and conditions improved, all, in their own way, managed to dig a living from the rocky hillsides of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Once again, my story has not been professionally edited, but, good or bad, it is my own: told as I thought it sounded best.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short nonfiction story follows five generations of the Jones-Hart families, who owned property in the valley of Oil Camp Creek in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, from 1797 until 1957. This mountainous property was a Royal Grant Award to Thomas Jones for free bounty land for his service in the Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783. The story depicts events about these families during the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Great Depression, and World War II. This 160-year era of the Royal Grant property ended following the tragic death of Earle L.
