Which is why, before things can get any more chaotic, she calls the whole thing off and lets go of the most perfect man on the planet.

In an educational era defined by large school campuses and overcrowded classrooms, it is easy to overlook the era of one-room schools, when teachers filled every role, including janitor, and provided a familylike atmosphere in which children also learned from one another. In Tales from Kentucky One-Room School Teachers, William Lynwood Montell reclaims an important part of Kentucky's social, cultural, and educational heritage, assembling a fun and fascinating collection of schoolroom stories that chronicle a golden era in Kentucky. The firsthand narratives and anecdotes in this collection cover topics such as teacher-student relationships, day-to-day activities, lunchtime foods, students' personal relationships, and, of course, the challenges of teaching in a one-room school. Montell includes tales about fund-raising pie suppers, pranks, outrageous student behavior (such as the quiet little boy whose first "sharing" involved profanity), and variety of other topics. Montell even includes some of his own memories from his days as a pupil in a one-room school. Tales from Kentucky One-Room School Teachers is a delightful glimpse of the history of education.

Everyone has a story to tell, a legacy to leave to both living family and future generations. In his memoir, A Boy from Barnhart: Times Remembered, author Herb Taylor shares his life story and legacy, from his coming of age on large ranches and small towns in West Texas to his subsequent career as a professional army officer. Taylor writes of life and its realities during the drought years of the 1950s. He chronicles the people, places, ideas, and incidents he encountered during a twenty-eight year army career, as well as his struggle with a lifelong alcohol addiction and the death of his childhood sweetheart after a thirty-five year marriage. He writes of the good times and the not so good, the ordinary and the unusual, in a casual, personal, and informative way that captures the times and his life experiences. Equal parts genealogy, history, travelogue, and memoir, Taylors memories are the emotional account of a life well-lived, as well as an interesting and intricate record of times gone by.

I have lived a different type of life than most. My habits and addictions had taken their toll on my body by the time I started this paranormal investigation. To my surprise, the spirits I recorded on London Bridge were there for me every step of the way, and saved my life so I could write their book. I had decided not to cooperate with them so I could get even more information about their world. However, taking a longer time got us in trouble with the Council of the Afterlife. Meet Christine, a spirit in love with me and looking out for my best interests, and Chester, a very powerful angel sent to either change my self-destructive behavior or remove me from this world. In the book, we stay with the authorities in the "City of the Dead" that is London Bridge. When the highest authority comes to see how much trouble I have caused, readers will discover why One Witch Had to Do It.
