Acknowledgments Many people have had a hand in producing a book by the time it appears in print. I wish to thank the Kentucky Humanities Council, the Kentucky Post, and the University Press of Kentucky for making the publication of this book possible. Phyllis MacAdam, cordinator of the New Books for New Readers Project, was especially helpful in providing content and editorial insight and assistance. Folklorist Trudy Balcom deserves a special note of thanks for helping me expand on the historical and cultural details necessary to make a good story even better. I wish also to thank Michelle Hunt, Warren County literacy coordinator, and all the new readers and their tutors who read and commented on the stories presented here.

By name, they are Mary Brady, Debbie Eadens, Judy Goff, Kim Hoffman, Sandy Kearny, Bob Scantland, Diann Waddle, Rebecca Witt, Jackie Woods, and Lorenia Wright. ...
