I will start his diary by stating that my Great Uncle was a school teacher, millionaire playboy, World War I warrior and a cowboy. His life was one that inspires me to this day because not only was he all of that but he was also a man who had seen the good in people regardless of their difficulties or up bringing.
I invite people to respond to this blog by leaving their comments. I have many postcards of his that he brought back from Europe. The readers of this blog may recognize some places. I have in his diary names of his buddies that he served in WWI with along with their addresses. If you recognize these men please let me know. I would love to hear from you. My Great Uncle had two diaries with him. The first was mostly a summary of his exploits. The other is more detailed. I also will be posting his letters to his Mother and Father in this blog. His Father was a Baptist preacher who was one of the first pioneers to Coke County Texas. The family had came from Mississipi and bought up land in Coke County. I speak about the family also in the blog "Small Towns Are Larupin'''. The address is: katiebarthedoorifinucan.com.
I will have my work cut out for me doing this blog so bear with me.
