Foreword by beloved American author, Homer Hickam

At the time this original manuscript was penned in 1927, Swain was a reporter for the county newspaper, The Logan County Banner, in Logan, WV. Here Swain paints a vivid picture, in his most unique style, of West Virginia in bygone days. Granted, Swain was a staunch supporter of the controversial Logan County Sheriff Don Chafin, so his particular take on the mine war is from a Chafin perspective. When he describes Logan County miners in this manuscript, he portrays them as being largely content and well-treated by mine operators.

Foreword by US Senator Joe Manchin, III

The state of West Virginia has a long prominent history of unexplained happenings and bizarre sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Perhaps it’s because we are a rural state—geographically covered with harsh mountains and rolling hills, being far from more densely populated territories—that makes this phenomena even more fantastic. Maybe the people here are just more observant of such oddities, or more willing to report such experiences to authorities.

As you will soon see, he is a natural storyteller." — Dottie Rambo

won't know me too well!" to school officials as he angrily swung himself around and headed home for summer vacation.
