Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life in the poverty of the Great Depression prior to World War II was a serious time, which today's generation can only imagine and could not endure. However, I have used the short story format, humor, and a sixth-grade vocabulary in many stories to encourage reading for ages twelve to ninety. The names of my boyhood pals represent many of my childhood pals, and stories are based on real events. My sketches and photos help set the scene for each short story, which stands alone but is more or less in order of events and seasons. The sketches also signify that I qualify as a starving artist. The twenty-five percent unemployment in our community led to many people living on the edge of starvation. Families lived in houses without electricity, water, or central heating, and their lives were not complicated by bathrooms, air conditioning, television, computer games, or cell phones. The outhouse was on the alley, and house water came from well pumps or a neighbor's faucet. Schools and parents demanded strict discipline, and education was important. Most families were striving to survive and rear their children to be law-abiding citizens. Children spent time in the fresh air, organized their own games, and roamed the streets, fields, or woodlands. However, they were assigned home chores and expected to contribute to the family. The Greatest Generation saved our country and the freedom we have enjoyed for three-quarters of a century.

Download or read book The Leatherwood God Historical Novel written by William Dean Howells and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2016-01-02 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "The Leatherwood God (Historical Novel)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Leatherwood God, or Joseph C. Dylkes, was a messianic figure in the early settlement of the Ohio Country in the United States. The legend of this man from Leatherwood Creek, who convinced the people of Ohio that he is a living god, served as an inspiration to William Dean Howells for one of his last novels which is quite different from the majority of his works. In the calm city of Salesville, Ohio, on a warm August day, shows up a certain man named Joseph Dylkes, claiming that he is the Lord God Himself causing an uproar in the community. He proposes to perform a miracle to prove his case, but he doesn't show up and he's being called a fraud by angry non-believers, but keeps a number of believers at his side. After series of situations he disappears without a trace leaving the people of Salesville torn. William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was an American realist author, literary critic, and playwright. He was the first American author to bring a realist aesthetic to the literature of the United States. His stories of Boston upper crust life set in the 1850s are highly regarded among scholars of American fiction.

Download or read book Big Leatherwood Tales The Early Years written by Morris Ratliff and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Appalachian Mountains, during the 19th and early 20th centuries, stood like an island of constancy in a sea of violent change. The mores of the people were Elizabethan, and the language was larded with the quaint hold-overs from the sounds of Old England. Issues were often settled by acts of personal violence rather than by resort to complex legality in a court of law. Personal honor was a very important issue, and to transgress a man’s honor was to incur his immediate wrath. Men lived by the feud; city-bred folk, usually those whose immediate ancestors had come late in the 19th century via Ellis Island, did not understand this state of affairs, and were often surprised when they gave offense. The natives of the mountain country were often looked upon with condescension by the “outlanders” . . . . often at their peril. Rural people did not suffer scorn lightly! For an old man, in the twilight of his years, fond memory could gloss over the problems, and leave only the good events. For a young boy, at the beginning of life, some events would be ingrained in memory forever.
