    About this ebook

    Eugene Leone grew up in the small town of Gallup, New Mexico in the 1920's-40's, seeing first-hand the devastation brought on by The Great Depression, the unbearable life of coal mining, and the loyalty of some of the most indigent members of the community, namely, the Navajo Indians. In his memoirs, which he penned at the age of 90, Eugene shares stories combining humor as well as humility and compassion. His wish was to share some of his past, in hopes that current and future generations may appreciate that history. He weaved humorous stories with truth nuggets from his past, which he felt had been lost through time. We hope you enjoy the pictures we've added to his short stories, to glean a snapshot of the amazing man that was Eugene Leone. The man that gifted his entire estate (over $3.5 million dollars) to one of the most indigent members of our society, the Southwest Indian Foundation. We're honored to share his stories!
