The stories contained within these pages are collected from Allan C.
Birdwell's columns in the Clay County, Tennessee "Citizen-Statesman." They
reveal the strength of character, perseverance, native ingenuity, humor, and
intelligence which have seen Tennesseans through the the thick and thin of a
century of drastic change. Several of these stories detail no-longer-used
methods of farming... when horsepower did not refer to the potential of a
gasoline engine. They reveal the thinking of a little boy who managed to dream up projects that may have been a source of amusement, aggravation, and probably even danger. Others reveal the turmoil, awkwardness, and uncertainty of the coming-of-age years and the "pie-in-the-sky" ideas of a dreamer of dreams. There are even some tales you may not want to read alone on a dark and story night, and you may even have to take one or two with a grain of salt!
