Vol 2 provides an opportunity for yo, the reader, to spend some time with the people and places of Upper East Tennessee, Tennessee's first frontier, The State of Franklin. Come share my experiences. Although I have had to draw my gun and I have had to arrest folks and take them to jail, that was not the norm. This book is a happy memoir.

Travel with me to a world in which you have never been, nor would you go without me as your guide. Meet my bigger than life characters: the Conrad family, a family that still hunts, fishes and gathers wild foods, living by their wits under the shadow of Unaka Mountain. Octogenarians, Asa and his girlfriend, that live in the Sciotio community (pronounced Sci-o-thee) that believe in alien abduction, black painters, haints and other superstitions.
