EVERYBODY HAS A STORY... And this book is mainly stories - stories told by the pioneers of the Medicine Mound, Texas community and their descendants. These days Medicine Mound is a virtual ghost town, but there was a time when it was a thriving community, one that "sprang up out of the prairie, thrived, prospered, grew and then wilted and died, a victim of the Industrial Revolution," explains this book's author, Bill Neal. Filled with history, warmth and humor, "Our Stories" has become a touchstone for the descendants of area residents, for historians and story-tellers, and for anyone touched by the gentle grace of the four mounds or the wind-whipped remnants of the small rural town that was once Medicine Mound, Texas. From the love story of Thurman & Lena, reminiscent of Romeo & Juliet, to the time the outraged Ella Tidmore burned the whole town down, "Our Stories" breathes life into the tiny section of the world known as Medicine Mound, Texas.
