Henry M. Schmidt has written a variety of stories about
people that will enlighten some readers and entertain
most. He writes about those folks who wander aimlessly
thru life not thinking about having a purpose or a plan
for success, and others that do.
There are stories that show the best side of individuals
and some that can’t hide the fact that there are
unfortunately those who are beyond saving and lead
dangerous and often sad lives. The struggle to just
get along with society is an ongoing fact of
life... some succeed while others are almost certain to
fail.
He hopes you will understand and accept the honest
feelings that he has included in each and every tall
tale about life.

By: Patricia H. Graham
Hillbilly Tales from the Smoky Mountains includes
several short stories based on the folklore of the
Appalachian Mountains. Before the time of cell-phones,
computers and television, family members would gather
on the front porch and offer up stories through simple
oral traditions. These stories were to provide simple
forms of entertainment to their children. With each
generation, the stories become more elaborate and
creative. These yarns became known as Appalachian
folklore. Mountain people have always led a difficult
life; but how they dealt with their struggles is a
unique perspective on Appalachian people.
Also, in this book you will find a small section on
mountain medicinal treatments and hillbilly proverbs,
which were carried over from mother to daughter down the
family line. Knowledge of apothecary, or also known as
mountain medicine, was necessary to treat family members
who became ill while the local doctor was away visiting
two towns over. Most importantly, no decent
self-respecting mountain folk would ever go unprepared
without offering up advice to help their fellow
neighbor. Wise sayings or hillbilly proverbs go
hand-in-hand with mountain medicine and is given to
anyone who might need guidance in their daily life.
The second part of the book includes a special story
written by one of the original descendants of the Crowe
Family, Ms. Verna Humphrey. This short piece of fiction
centers around a light romance based right after the end
of the Civil War. The setting takes place in Green Cove
and it presents a time of struggle and death while a
young girl, Charlotte, struggles to regain her
birthright during these trying times. When a young
lawyer enters upon the scene, Charlotte’s interpretation
of birthright takes on a whole new meaning. Now she must
make some hard decisions that will alter the course of
her life.

When we die we are just dead. Are we? We never come back
in spirit much less reincarnated. Do we not? Of those of
us who have had spiritual personal experiences some will
admit to it and others will not. Why not? There are
those who believe, those who are in doubt, and those who
do not believe and that is the end of it for them. In
these pages we also expose a spiritual center as the
ultimate in charlatanism. We have some touching moments
when a non-believer suddenly believes. More is revealed
when a group of students are presented with the smiling
face of one of their own who has already passed on.
Dearly Departed Blessedly Returned deals with these
issues. The revelations may shock and challenge...

This book is a work of fiction based on experiences of
my younger days as I remembered them. Friends surrounded
me through my life. The friends of my youth were a joy
worth more than all the gold in this world. A simple
playground filled with laughter and joy. Relationships
fueled by respect, love, and knowledge where loneliness
has no part or place in life. Some of my childhood
friends are no longer living, yet their spirits are as
real as our memories. When we have a memory, no one is
completely gone. My prayer is in some small way I leave
a happy memory with those whom I have the pleasure of
knowing and this book opens the vault of their memories
as well as the memories of any person who reads it. Joy
and laughter are keys to the universe. God is happy when
his creation loves and has compassion for each other.
