Produktinformationen zu „George Bailey's Got Nothing on Me: A Narrative History of the Holliday Family (ePub)“

Growing up on a traveling carnival and surrounded by a host of real life Damon Runyan and O Henry characters has proven to be a truly wonderful life. The author's paternal grandfather, father, and mother were instrumental in providing him a firm foundation for all of life's challenges. From Broadway to carnival midways to the Atlantic City Boardwalk, these stories speak of a simpler time, but the life lessons are as applicable today as they were in the past.
Mom was a Broadway star who worked with all the big band leaders of the 1930s and '40s. Dad was a carnie that grew up during the depression and lived by his wits. Grandpa was a carnie and a prizefighter. They and their friends formed the basis of what became the author's life story, and a fascinating look at a different time in our country.
Covering seven generations of the Holliday family from the 1700s to today, George Bailey's Got Nothing on Me takes the reader on a unique genealogic ride with characters that are far from perfect and certainly not "politically correct." Filled with individual triumphs and tragedies, it is as interesting a family memoir as you are likely to find.

Autoren-Porträt von Cy Holliday

Born and raised on a traveling carnival, Cyrus E. (Cy) Holliday is a retired Army officer living in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas. On the carnival, he traveled throughout the United States and Canada and has visited all fifty states and six of the Canadian Provinces. In the Army and later as a defense contractor, he traveled throughout the world, visiting more than thirty countries on six continents. A holder of multiple college degrees, he attributes most of his life's learning experiences to his upbringing in the carnival and amusement park businesses. His father taught him that no matter what you do in life, you're going to have to get along with all kinds of people. As he said, "In this business, every day you deal with the town mayor, and the town drunk, and everybody in between, and you have to learn to deal with each of them on their level." Cy married Deborah J. Holliday in 1983; the couple has one son, Cyrus Robert Holliday, born in 1995.
