Produktinformationen zu „Cabbages and Kings (ePub)“

Len spent his formative years playing on the streets of Baltimore. Those streets were seldom paved and they teemed with horses, carriages, and manure. Sanitation was poor and medicine crude by todays standards. Orphans abounded and there were no laws to protect the innocent. Life was rarely just or fair but to a child it was almost always fun. He watched the ships coming and going in the harbor; clipper ships, steam ships, later submarines and ocean-going liners. He saw Buffalo Bills Wild West Show and he survived the Spanish Influenza. He partied through the Roaring Twenties, lost all his money in the crash of 29 and eked out a living during the Depression. He saw his son off to war and scoffed along with the rest of the country at those early television shows.
At his mothers urging he moved to Altoona, Pennsylvania where he bought a home, raised a family, and became a part of the life of that community. Railroads were at the peak of their prosperity when he began to work for the Pennsylvania Railroad and he was still there when the glory of the railroads began to wane.
His story is one of an ordinary man witnessing extraordinary times as the world underwent the most dramatic social, political, and technological changes in history.
This is his story. It is a tale of love and laughter.

Autoren-Porträt von Lila Strebeck Wright

Upon overhearing a member of her family tell an anecdote and mangling the story so badly it took monumental restraint on her part to keep from jumping up and shouting “No, No! You have it all wrong!” From such simple beginnings a book is born.

Growing up in Altoona, Pennsylvania Lila spent so many of her formative years with relatives in Baltimore, Maryland it became a home away from home. Having never been one of those people who harbored secret yearnings to write a book she says she is even now surprised that she has done just that.

Lila has lived in nine different states but now resides with her husband and three Great Danes in Garland, Texas.
