A compilation of over twenty short stories that revolve around the folk who live in the fictional Township of Muddy Fork, USA. Written in true hillbilly style, and with an authentic voice, by the author, who currently resides in Kentucky. While totally fun to read, The Folks of Muddy Fork offers a glimpse of some of the realities people have in an isolated culture in the backwoods of the Bible Belt, before the mechanization of agriculture uprooted their way of life. This is a view of life from that time, those values, ethics and the hilarity of the hill folk. It is country charm at its best. [more]

Henry Harmon Spalding (1803–1874), and his wife Eliza Hart Spalding (1807–1851) were prominent Presbyterian missionaries and educators working primarily with the Nez Perce in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The Spaldings and their fellow missionaries were among the earliest Americans to travel across the western plains, through the Rocky Mountains and into the lands of the Pacific Northwest to their religious missions in what would become the states of Idaho and Washington. Their missionary party of five, including Marcus Whitman and his wife Narcissa and William H. Gray, joined with a group of fur traders to create the first wagon train along the Oregon Trail.[1] [more]
