OLD DAYS - A Step Back In Time
Old Days - A Step Back In Time. The title says it all. A novel based on facts and experience, the book explores a few years in the life of Keith Nail, who left his Pennsylvania home in the 1850s, traveling west to stake a claim. Today we would call it an adventure story, but it was the life he and many others chose. We experience his interactions with his neighbors, the struggle of his first winter, his encounter with the Indians, and the mutual support of all the families staking their claims. The story is poignant, including humorous as well as sad events. The unexpected ending makes you want more.
Many of Keith's experiences are based on the author's own experiences. As David says:
"I come from a long line of farmers, outdoorsmen, animal-lovers, and self-reliant providers. Keith's adventures, although fictional, are grounded in that same spirit."
