Nub and Bow in History

About the Book

Nub was my dad. His name was Lawrence. He is on the right. His brother Theodore is on the left. This picture was taken about 1948. Most of this book was put together to make fiction. This book is about two boys that were brothers growing up about 1910. It has a lot of history, religion and a cook book at the end. Dad gave people nick names, mine was Bow, You pronounce it like Bow in (Bow and Arrows). Lots of names in which were used have been changed, like Bow for my uncle. The picture on the left of the back is of Earl Hamner and I. There isn't and drugs, killing, bed hopping or bad language in it. My other book that are out are (Nub and Bow) and (Between the Tracks).

About the Author

I dedicate this book to my wife and to my mother. I grew up in a time that if you had a roof over your head and a warn house in the wintertime and food and clothes you were rich. My dad had a job at a near by factory. I also was taken to church and with God in your heart you are rich. If I knew then that I was going to write books, I would have studied harder. My mother told me that she didn’t think that I would ever make it through high school, but I did and even went to callage. I help pay for her and my sister collage. We like to travel. When I got old enough to get a car we could travel. I made money on a paper route so we could travel. When I was twelve, with the money from my paper rout, I bought my first piece of land. Then I built a four bedroom house on my second piece of land., I bought more land. I later bought and rented houses and apartments. I go to church because when everything else fails I can read the Bible and find help. If I work at it and try, I find out that I can live much better with God in my heart. I took a speech course at work and was voted the number one speaker of the day, five times. So I started to write down every story in my life that I could remember. I got to seven hundred and decided to put them in a book called “Between the Tracks” which I got published. It is stories about my life and others and also when I traveled in Europe. I have started on two more books.
