By Ed Butler
()
About this ebook
Ed states that his Dad is the only person he ever knew that had traveled and lived in a covered wagon and the only person he knew that had trained and worked three yokes of oxen. His Dad milked cows for sixty-two years and was an animal whisperer long before the term horse whisperer was coined. Ed's Mother had a two year teachers certificate and taught school in a one room schoolhouse before she got married. She sure knew how to maintain order in her classroom! Have you ever eaten dried Tennessee strawberries? How many people that you know have owned a horse and top buggy and have driven it in a local parade?
These stories and many others are told in this narrative. Often, Ed provides details and explains the terms he uses so today's reader can understand how he was raised and how eight generations survived the hardships they encountered.

He has traced some of his family lines back as far as eight generations. Learning and preserving family history has always been one of his favorite endeavors. While teaching, he was attracted to a lady that taught public school music. In June 2015, they will have been sweethearts for forty-nine years. They have three sons and four grandchildren. As a manufacturer’s rep, he has worked in thirty-five states and has traveled to forty-six.
