Since its first publication in 1982, many of the people featured in this book have passed on. Today, gathering their stories is easier than ever with online obituaries and Ancestry records. This updated edition includes Author’s Notes—fresh insights, corrections, and discoveries that have emerged since the original release. Forty-four years ago, Clyde Stephens embarked on a deeply personal project, conducting extensive research, gathering family photographs, and typing the manuscript on his trusty typewriter. When the initial run sold out, he continued to share copies with family and friends who asked for them. Although the book has been out of print for years, its legacy endures, and this revised edition brings those memories to new readers with enhanced clarity and context.
