Winter in St. Louis Four

This book tells of family life in an age past. Being an avid reader and history buff, it reminds me of stories and events that my grandmother told me about during her lifetime. It is my hope that readers enjoy the book as much as I did. Thanks, John!Jonna H. { Wishek } Hochhalter - Wishek, ND I truly enjoyed the opportunity of proofreading John's book. It was very interesting to see how he was able to tell the story using those private journals that he received. It's no wonder that he's received inquiries from readers asking if they are true stories. John brings the hardships and joys that the characters experienced back when Western America was expanding. Thanks. Mrs. (Rev. Lyle) Ruth Klemz - Lehr, ND I think this is a book for all ages. It tells of a time when our America was just beginning to expand its horizons to the western part of the US in 1849 - 1850. The story shows the hardships of travelers and other people on the rivers. A great, clean story that has appropriate language for anyone, no bad words. This book has so many good short stories, you are bound to enjoy most of them. Please enjoy them, as we did. Thanks John.As summed up from others. Brought your-self over here and sit a spell and I'll tell you this story. A story that was captured from entries within many journals. There are so many good short stories to tell, the kind folks tell about grand fathers, grand mothers, the family black sheep, uncle, aunts, brothers, sisters, and school mates. You know, like good tails of hunting, fishing, camping, bad scary storms, of people's travels, and of odd situations. You know the kinds of stories told around the kitchen table, when the little kids are out playing, when relativesor visitors are sharing. Good stories sparked by a crackling campfire, that is remembered, old history and funny stories. Stories wrapped in the hot sun, or of food lost in the camp fire, in the wet and cold camp. Great stories are like beans, ones that stick to you. StWiskus, John A. is the author of 'Winter in St. Louis Four' with ISBN 9781420812947 and ISBN 1420812947.
