Where Did All the Cowboys Go?
History is more than national personalities, wars, and horrible catastrophes; it is stories told by people who have lived ordinary lives. In Where Did All the Cowboys Go?, author Joe Millard gives a first-person account of what life was like growing up in rural Iowa in the 1940s. From the perspective of young Gene Millard, this memoir reveals the experiences of a one-room school education where pupils studied geography from a globe, read the childrens classics, learned sportsmanship on the playground, and bought war bonds. It also recounts Genes non-classroom life experiences in Farlin, Iowa, where he learned to play pool at the village gossip center next to the blacksmith shop, loathe boxing in the IOOF hall, and understand friendship at a box social. Genes experiences mirror those of the thousands of children who grew up on farms in the Midwest and Great Plains in the 1940s. The recollection of these memories will lead others to remember the nostalgia of the days of Saturday cowboy movies, participating in Christmas school plays, fishing in creeks, and enjoying community events. It provides a personal perspective of the times and fills a void in the history books.
Seeing Through Gray Colored Lens
Seeing Through Gray Colored Lens is a collection of poems written by Joe Millard that describes how he sees the world from three views; the world within us, the world around us and the world we create. The world is a beautiful blend of colors that we share, but within us are shadows that tint our views. In our youth we often see the world as black and white with right and wrong answers. However, as questions go unanswered, the world becomes confusing and more interesting. New experiences expand our choices and the shades of black and white blend. Our lives change creating shades of gray in an ever-changing world.
Savor the Seasons
Joe Millard reflects on the landscape of Iowa in his new poetry collection, Savor the Seasons. His poems portray a land alive with nature, flowing with rivers that are visited by thunderstorms and winter blizzards. This is a place where flowers flourish, rivers reign, grain grows, and people play. Joy and sadness mix with the feel of rain, the sound of wind, the sight of life, and the smell of death. These verses are intended to speak to those who are passionate about the land and have a feel for the soil. The collection is organized by seasons, beginning with spring and ending with winter, with each season speaking in its distinct voice; they may not always obey the calendar, but rather express their moods when they are ready. From his 1953 poem entitled "December," written while he attended high school in Jefferson, Iowa, to "Mississippi Journey," a reflection on Huckleberry Finn's excursion, Millard's poetry captures the true essence of life in the Midwest. Savor the Seasons Heed the spring thunder, enjoy the summer sun, experience an autumn sunset, taste the winter snow, and embrace the magic.
