My Mountain Heroes tells of my journey through Macon County, visiting with the last of The Greatest Generation and writing their stories. They lived through the Great Depression, World War II, a presidential assassination, and numerous other historical moments. They saw them unfold first-hand, and I was enthralled by their individual stories of challenge and triumph. As a member of Generation X, born in 1973, I realized that my new friends had seen the birth of many things that I take for granted. Electricity, automobiles, good roads, computers, and the space age were all born while they watched. Somewhere along my journey, the fine people I visited on their porches, in their living rooms, and around their kitchen tables became “My Mountain Heroes.” Although by the time I met them, old age had taken its toll on the outside, they didn’t seem broken by the effects of time. They were each a beautiful portrait painted with faith, commitment, hard work, and perseverance, and their unbroken spirits inspired me to record their stories for others to read. It’s my sincere hope that My Mountain Heroes will bless you as you read the moving stories within its pages and that it will inspire your children and grandchildren to discover their own Mountain Heroes!
Open and read My Mountain Heroes and discover some hard working and generous people like you've never known. It's time to meet "My Mountain Heroes."
