 The 20th Century saw tremendous change, from horses and buggies to space travel.  Never before in history has such profound change occurred during so short a period.

      This rapid change has created a unique historical opportunity.  There are people alive today who remember what life was like before much of that change occurred.  These people represent a wealth of historical information.  We believe it is imperative to capture their memories in print before they are lost forever.  (Each of our books about North Carolina are archived at UNC's Davis library in Chapel Hill.)

THE PURPOSE OF OUR BOOKS IS TO PRESERVE THE SPIRIT, CHARACTER, AND MEMORY OF A TIME THAT WILL NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN.  THE PEOPLE WHO APPEAR IN THEM ARE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE.  THEIR EXPERIENCES ARE SO UNUSAL AND VARIED THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CATEGORIZE THEM.  YOU'LL FIND HUMOR, ADVENTURE, ROMANCE, HARDSHIP, AND EVEN A FEW GHOST STORIES.

    

If you are in my age group (65 plus) you've seen a lot of change.  Perhaps you remember when soft drinks were a nickel, when we listened to drama programs on radio (television hadn't begun), when "indoor plumbing" was a luxury for the city folks and when we learned Bible verses in school.
Our books are collections of true stories from those "good old days."  For a most unusal trip down Memory Lane, check us out thoroughly.
