Pigeon Forge, Tennessee holds a great many fond memories for me..., both as an adult, and as a young boy. It was a short trip from my childhood home in Kentucky, to the Great Smokey Mountains. My mom and dad would load-up my sisters, my brother, and I..., and off we would go toward a fun-filled week with about 20 of my mom's family in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

There would always be the annual trek over the mountains to Cherokee, North Carolina..., then days of fun exploring the shops & attractions back in Tennessee. My older sister, Sheila, and our first cousins Sharon and David, were allowed to go horseback riding into the mountains when we were finally teenagers..., a fact that usually drew fire from all the younger brothers, sisters, and cousins..., but, we were the oldest, thus the most trustworthy.

Once I had children of mine own, I was bound and determined to share some of the fun, and wonder, of the Great Smokey Mountains with my children, their cousins, and a few select friends. Dollywood and the Aquarium always seem to be the big drawing cards for the new generation.., but, we managed to work-in a few of the old attractions too. We made some terrific memories through the years.

Now..., I have grandchildren. With the fires burning in Tennessee, I worry about the folks who live and/or work there. I also worry about what memories my children's children might have the opportunity to enjoy...., what new memories my children might enjoy...., at my age..., I wonder if I will get to share their memories of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood...., I wonder....,

The book, "How They Make Angels", is a story about several generations of Henderson Green's family, and their life along the banks of Harmon's Branch Creek in Southeastern Garrard County, Kentucky. The photo, circa 1880's, is of Henderson (On the right) and one of his 22 children, Peter (On the left).

This photo was taken in a small village, Paint Lick, that still exists today. The first volume of "How They Make Angels", 1850's thru the 1920's is available on Amazon as a Kindle electronic book; or as a paper back copy on Amazon and at the Dinner Bell Restaurant in Berea, Kentucky. The second volume, 1930's thru 1940 is under construction. The author had planned to release that second volume in time for Christmas, 2016..., but that is becoming more & more doubtful with each passing day. Obviously, the delay will cause the third volume, 1940's thru 1950 to be late as well. Please forgive the delay..., the author was a bit optimistic in his initial predictions.

Thanks for visiting our blog, "That's How They Make Angels"..., I hope you will give our book, "How They Make Angels" a look-see..., I believe you will enjoy the three volume series.

"How They Make Angels"

My first book, "How They Make Angels, The Greens of Harmons Lick" has done very well on Amazon. Over a thousand copies have been downloaded, and around a hundred paperbacks have been ordered. Over twenty-five copies have sold at Dinner Bell Restaurant in Berea, Ky. I am working diligently on the next volume, "How They Make Angels, The Depression Comes to Harmons Lick".

Thanks to all who have read my Dad's story. I will let you know when the next volume is available. While the first volume was more than 50 percent fiction, the next chapter in my Dad's life will be less than 25 percent fiction..., and volume three, when released, will be nearly all fact, with a tad of fiction mixed in.

More info is available on the "How They Make Angels" Facebook page. Again, thanks so much for reading..., I hope you enjoy.
