    About this ebook

    This collection of short true stories, I wrote for my family, and decided to share it with you. You'll find it exciting, raw truth about the dangers of living in the mountains. But the dangers of going to school even worse. If you are looking for perfect grammar, don't bother to even look any farther. You wont find it, I haven't needed any for sixty years. School was a big flop for me, mostly caused by the teachers in the early years of school.
    However you'll find stories you can enjoy, or be sickened by. Going against bigger kids in self defense, with the weapons I had to use. Almost dyeing from a beating I took. Almost killing a bully, and sometimes I wounder why I didn't.

      Links to my good books you’re just dying to read

      Post Script a warning read this if nothing else

      Young Dan and? Oh! Just read on, you’ll see.

      Well now! Here I set waiting for a book to come from an editor, you know all that stuff called grammar, spelling, and punctuations marks. It won’t do no good anyway, (they want to change my books so its their story and not mine) editors all talk a different language, depending on what country, or town, that they were taught English in. Like New Yorker’s, they talk one way, and down south they talk different, up north now, how do they talk? (Damn Yankees) And out west where I grew up, we talk our way. I’ll bet you can see I dot my i’s and cross the tees. Is there more to it than that? So I thought I’d just write a story about my school life, and them days before time began for most of you, a history book you might say. I will throw in some other odds and ends that you might like, a few thoughts maybe, but these are true stories, and if you are a teacher, don’t go no farther, or don’t/do take it to heart, just remember, even that little guy over in the corner has feelings too, and he is thinking. So, if you have a bee’s nest, in your desk, just think how much you deserved it. You did, you know!

      Now I will start writing, but I’m going to do it just the way I want to, just the way I talk, and have some fun. Now as you are reading, I’ll put a comma in, now and then, just so you can stop, and catch your breath, before you go on reading, so you can have some fun too. Because, you see, I do make a few mistakes, now and then. I’ll bet you can understand what I mean anyway even with typos and all, no editing, you’ll get it the way I write it, like it or not. It’s no fun editing, I found that out and lots of editors are teachers anyway (they would just mess up all my hard work writing this), and they are NO fun at all, I’ll get to that later. So, a story of my young life is just what you need, unless you are a teacher, bully, or have a weak stomach. Or maybe this is, just what you do need.

      These are some of the events, and other stuff, that took place back then. (60 years ago) Maybe you just don’t want to hear it, you don’t have to hear it , you dumb shit, you have to read it. Unless of course you can’t read, then you can have someone read it to you, that’s ok. This book is not for the real young (there is no sex like the schools want to teach nowadays, to the very young. Perverts!), but it might be best read by the older folk’s that lived in the hills, and went to the old one room shacks they called schools. One thing I learned, never let a bully bluff you, just find a way, any way you can, and just beat
