Pa started on the frame house that spring. We had been living in the sod dugout up until then. Except the girls, they moved into the loft of the barn as soon as that was built.
Some itinerant Methodists come around from time to time and folks would go to the revivals. Of course there was no dancing allowed for several weeks after such a meeting. Pa's drinking became more secretive too. It was a tough winter - lots of cold but not enough snow. The cisterns in the bluffs are low and pasture for the cows will be sparse.
Well, that's the news from the farm.

Don't know 'bout you but I miss the old sod domicile. They had a certain flavor.

As the former president would say, What is your definition of "disinformation"?

The thing was noone suspected anything underhanded and maybe Absalom wasn't quite thinking he wanted to be king at first.
I'm going to order the book since you all speak so highly of it.

Like Troy, I'll withhold comment until and if this letter is proven to indeed be from "Loophole Larry."
If Booker did indeed write this, then I'll have several comments.
I don't keep up religiously (pardon the pun) with this board so someone PM me if it is proven beyond doubt that Booker wrote this.

Just to (sorta) hijack the thread...
There was this old hermit that lived on the farm next to my grandparent's. This was 1960's and 1970's. He lived in a set of adobe structures. They had been built as several smaller homes and he just kind of "spread out" among them. He had a Windmill that provided electricity to his bard and a yard light. He had a small apple orchard and bee hives. No running water except in the spring when the snow melt from the hills behind our farms would be channeled down and into some pipes he had laid.
He was living like this while right across the road from us in a different kind of a "dugout" was the "Hammer of Hell" ICBM silo.

My kids don't believe I grew up in a "forest" of nukes. I'm going to have to take them out there some time. We were surrounded on all sides. The "Hammer of Hell" was a little over 1 mile from the house.
I used to get up each morning and look out across the field at it as I was sitting on the porch putting my boots on. I had dreams of all the missiles launching at once. Such an event would have filled the sky with the contrails and such. I've wondered how that helped to form my dispensational approach to the Bible.

Talk about trauma ... sheesh ...
from 9/11 until I left NY in Feb of 2006 ... I would have nightmares, from time to time, of further attacks on the city. Even though Houston would make for a prime target .... I haven't had those nightmares since I left.
