Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's an America that doesn't exist anymore – one where men made their living in the darkest recesses of the Earth while their wives worked in the home from sunup to sundown and children helped with the chores from the time they could walk. But growing up as a coal miner's son wasn't all work and no play, as C. Don writes in Memories of a Coal Miner's Son, My Grandpa, My Dad, and Me, his poignant yet light-hearted memoir of growing up in the hills of eastern Tennessee in the 1940s and 1950s. Byrd, a retired insurance executive, decided to record his memories so his children and grandchildren could learn more of their family history – while also gaining awareness of the hard-working men and women who shaped the Byrd family. Some of Byrd's stories have been excerpted in Tennessee Ancestors and in the Des Moines Register. You don't have to be Southerner or a miner's descendant to enjoy Memories of a Coal Miner's Son. You just need to remember a time when people put in a good day's work, feared the Lord, and maybe broke away for a little fishin' on a Sunday afternoon.

Book excerpt: "The Spaghetti Gang is the delightful memoir of Richard Guerrieri, a coal miner's son who grew up in the rough mountain town of Crested Butte, Colorado. It is the story of Italian immigrant people and their lives during the Great Depression and World War II. Crested Butte was a coal town, dominated by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. It was a true American melting pot made up of immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Guerrieri's account of his boyhood is wildly entertaining. His stories feature ranching, coal mining, Catholicism, World War II, hunting, skiing, and many other activities involving a young boy. He recounts the customs of the Italians and other ethnic peoples of Crested Butte who made blood sausage, dandelion wine, and got most of their food from deer, elk, and fish and from spectacular and well cared for gardens.The Spaghetti Gang is filled with the nostalgia of a young boy growing up at a time when Crested Butte families had very little. Readers are treated to vignettes about "strap-on ski's," "no bathing suits," "a horse named SOB," "the dreaded Catechism," and many other hilarious stories.Crested Butte was a microcosm of coal towns in America during the dark days of the Great Depression. In 1952 the Crested Butte coal mine shut down and three years later, the railroad tracks were torn up. Crested Butte's population fell to 300, a near ghost town before its revival as a ski town in 1961. Guerrieri's account of his early life and his family's transition from coal mining in Crested Butte to ranching in Gunnison, Colorado, shows that amidst the economic woes of the time there was fun and adventure to be had. His stories read very well and are brilliantly written. They make up a great picture of days gone by.The Spaghetti Gang tells a unique and heart-warming story of an ethnic coal town in American history. Crested Butte was, and is, a great mountain town with a rich history. The Spaghetti Gang brings it to life."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Bill Spencer Miller takes us on his journey of expansion and personal growth through his varied experiences as a farm boy in Brown County, Indiana to a Foreign Service Reserve Officer with the Peace Corps, a volunteer in Indonesia and Thailand, a Peace Corps director in the Kingdom of Tonga, and the Philippines. He went from attending a one-room school in Beanblossom, Indiana to Franklin College, to Eastern Illinois University where earned degrees in Biology, Kinesiology, and Sports, giving him a solid foundation to make his dreams come true. We learn about living in cultures different from our own as he shares his interactions living with and teaching the people of Indonesia and Thailand. Bill, always active, shares stories of playing basketball at the height of Hoosier Mania. His life-long love of running culminated in his participating in several triathlons, until a serious illness took him down, but not out of a productive life. He tells us of returning to the United States after ten years abroad and building a new life in Brown County with his wife and young family. We will learn about his new career paths and his work on the Deam Wilderness Project and his fight for landowners private property rights. Bill Millers experiences give voice to a life that has spanned (so far) a world that was still recovering from the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, the assassinations of prominent leaders in our country, the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, to our present day struggles around the globe.

My brothers and sister for all of the memories I have of growing up in what I think were the best of times. The many friends I had at that time and the adventure we embarked on each day. The teachers who instilled in me the virtues I lived by later in life. The soldiers who fought and died to insure that this country remain strong for generations to come. I also want to thank God for the many blessings I receive each day. I feel I am the luckiest man in the world to have grown up in the time period that I did. With that I will leave you and pray that all of you have enjoyed life as much as I have. A coal miners son.
