Dirt Roads
Wry wit and intelligence shine through in this new collection. In the opening poem, Gold, a dirt road is a ghost hunted by a snake leading to a former boomtown of the American gold rush. The author's travels in the United States inspire portraits of unusual characters, of peculiar incidents, of defining moments, tossed with flashes of Bluegrass, guns, and fishing. The roads of the north Wales coast provide similar inspiration. Included is a sequence of fourteen sonnets, Reading the Country, that delve deep into the history of the slate industry in north Wales. The harsh beauty of the abandoned quarries contrasts with the often rugged lives of those who worked there.
Dirt Roads to Dixie
At the conclusion of the nineteenth century, one of the issues that attracted the attention of reformers in the South was road improvements. Populists who subscribed to the tenets of the good roads movement sought to provide farmers with better access to markets, make the cultural and employment opportunities of cities more available, and perhaps even halt the mass exodus of young people from the farms.
Gravel Roads
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
Highways, Ditches, and Dirt Roads
Life often takes us along paths we do not choose. How and where do we find meaning in these disappointments? This book is dedicated to these conversations.
The Dirt Roads of Madison County
Road of Confusion brings to the surface the story of a young boy who is exposed to the ravages of an abusive father, who dies at a young age. But Justin, at ten years old, does what he thinks is proper as "man of the house." All of his relatives, without exception, convinced Justin that he was the "man of the house." As Justin grows older, he becomes fodder for the "green machine" in action in Southeast Asia. He chooses to opt for Airborne/Special Forces/Green Beret, so he has a chance of surviving. Things go well for Brow (a nickname for Justin) until he learns that Stafford, his closest friend, has been murdered and not simply KIA (killed in action), and now the real war for Brow has become very real! Come now with me on this journey!
Dirt Roads and Daydreams
Fifteen years ago I was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. I survived what is usually a fatal diagnosis. Five very important things have sustained me through the easy ... and not-so-easy times. I call these "The Five F's" ... faith, family, friends, fun and free enterprise. They yielded the invaluable return of priceless memories, peace of mind and enduring hope. Time, memories and hope ... do we really own anything more precious? Dave Brown
Dirt Roads and High Topped Shoes
Amy Sinclair grew up in a small town nestled between the hills and the river. Being born in 1916, her life was much different from children today. Her first home had no electricity, no hot water, and no inside bathroom. How did children play in the early 1920s? What was school like? What kind of clothes did they wear? What was it like riding in some of the very first cars that were ever made? In this book, Amy will take you on a journey into the past. You may discover that even though it is almost a century later, some things never change. Amy Sinclair has dedicated her life to serving the Lord in many areas. She is a mother, grandmother, and retired occupational therapist. She has been active in church work since she was a child, serving as a Sunday School teacher, pianist, organist, and many other church ministries. Her interests are volunteering at a local hospital, gardening, genealogy, having time with her family, and reading. Just as she loved reading books as a child, she still reads a complete novel every day.
