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.

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.

Already, in the third decade of the nineteenth century, the settlers in the valley of Leatherwood Creek had opened the primeval forest to their fields of corn and tobacco on the fertile slopes and rich bottom-lands. The stream had its name from the bush growing on its banks, which with its tough and pliable bark served many uses of leather among the pioneers; they made parts of their harness with it, and the thongs which lifted their door-latches, or tied their shoes, or held their working clothes together. The name passed to the settlement, and then it passed to the man, who came and went there in mystery and obloquy, and remained lastingly famed in the annals of the region as the Leatherwood God.
