This book of short stories feature America's rednecks and hardcases, the people who not only founded but who populate this great country. They are men and women, the young and the old, the strong and the halt and the lame. There's the good stuff and the bad stuff of them in the stories. The book takes us from here to there, from hither to yon; the end result a virtual tour of the United States of America We start with a selection of a few of our founding Fathers, the country's original hardcases from the thirteen colonies, later our original States. Then the stories move to Appalachia. The South, out West and elsewhere of our hardscrabble-hard-case roots. What ties all of these stories together is humanness, for all of its richness or poorness, its glory, its hilarity, its somberness, its good or its evil. So, read in one sitting or read a few at a time. Mostly, enjoy.
