With a theme of “hard times,” the stories in this collection highlight the indomitable spirit of West Virginia folks who made the best of hard times and applied their creativity, faith, and determination to the worst of situations. You’ll read the backstory of O’Hurley’s General Store in Shepherdstown, Yokum’s Vacationland in Seneca Rocks, Century No. 1 and 2, and Calvin Shifflett’s store and post office in Glady. A centenarian shares his wisdom and grit, and a strong man demonstrates his feats of strength and knack for making lawn art out of discarded metal from coal mining operations. This book includes the story of the famous Punch Jones Diamond and the founder of Singing in the Hills, the late Dorsey Wiseman. Several “Along the Way” stops round the book that ends with a walk at Mount Wood Cemetery in Wheeling!
