Back Blount's Bluff: A Family's Farm Empire In The American West As Told By Its Founder's Son. By Charles Bird (R.I.P.)

Last Updated: March 22, 2023
Prologue: Oh, Poppa, I miss you so. You were our rock, our foundation upon all that we did, all that we wanted and all that we were. A Great War is looming and I need your advice so dearly, what do I do to protect our families, what do I do to keep Blount's Bluff safe in the coming years. There is talk of a draft to fill the ranks of the Army, many of our boys will be caught up in that. If they are called up, in all honor, I must volunteer also. I pray, Papa, that you rest in peace in the bosom of our Lord God and you look down upon us with pride in this year of our Lord, 1912. Love, Your grateful son, Steven
