Calhoun was born a “true son of the Deep South.” He came of age during the Great Depression and learned to plow a mule. He became an astute observer of, and participant in, race relations in the ’40s and ’50s, was almost a moonshiner, lived as a sharecropper, and married the girl of his dreams. The latter part of the book has to do with the situations and people he met in his various jobs, mainly with his railroad days. It’s a wonder he’s around to relate all these tales!

At 75, John C. Calhoun has decided to write the story of his life. He's married to Jewell for 52 years. He has four grown children and ten grandchildren. Having worked in nineteen jobs in twenty five states, he is now retired and lives in Powell, Tennessee. The author of two previous books, "The Fullness of Time" and "Reluctant Empire", he enjoys woodworking, singing, and writing. Being a born storyteller, he has quite a bit to tell.
