Barn Roofs, Quail Coveys, and General Mischief

By Laurie J. White as told to her by Alfred W. Jones (more or less)

60 pages

Recommended for 2nd-6th grade and anybody from Dalton

This book presents three short tales from a childhood lived during the early 1900's in the small, north Georgia town of Dalton. They are told from the perspective of my dad, Alfred Jones, as he told them to me. I had heard these stories all my life, but shortly before he died, I actually interviewed him to get more of the details. 

Following the stories, a section of History Tidbits offers entertaining background facts on related topics, from shooting marbles to electric cars.
