Book excerpt: Uncle Martin was a man with a vivid memory and a talent for storytelling and rhyme. During the first forty years of his life, while living and caring for his parents, he absorbed facts about his ancestors and enjoyed passing those stories on when the opportunity arose. His niece now gathers those stories to share with others, both family and otherwise. A greater portion of the work covers the years of the Great Depression in the state of Kansas when Martin was growing up with his brothers and sisters.
