Paperback. Zustand: Good. Myths or facts, was there a hidden treasure in Frog Mountain? Did a Big Foot creature really roam the mountain? Were there really ghosts and a headless man who could grow and shrink at will, and what was the mysterious ball of light that visited the nights? On a pilgrimage through time the author answers these questions and the childhood question of what was it like when you were a little girl. Frog Mountain Memories is both a historical look and a collection of childhood memories centered on a small rural community of north east Alabama. From the first inhabitants to the first settlers of the 1800's, it gives insight into the early history of the area and its neighbors. It opens a door to what some thought of as a war, the enemy being poverty, with a trip through the depression years when eating organic grown foods was not going green environmentally but instead was survival. With each turn of the page you will discover the quaint uniqueness of Frog Mountain and its people. Sometimes hilarious and sometimes sad, it will take you from side splitting laughter to wiping tears of sorrow.…
