It Could Have Happened That Way

About the Book

A fictional story written based on real diary written in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. The diary only covers two periods of time but goes from Indiana to Arkansas and Florida. There are real places and facts in the story but the day-by-day story is fictional made up from the author’s interpretation of the diary and stories told to him by the grandson of the diary’s author.

About the Author

The author was born in Rushville, Indiana, graduated from Milroy High School, married, raised a family of three girls, and has retired from 38 years of telephone work. He became interested in archaeology in the mid 70’s and has worked with Indiana University, Indiana State, Ball State, IUPUI, the Indiana State Museum and Northwestern University. After retirement in 1994, he became interested in volunteer work and has since received a presidential award for over 8000 hours of work. He does cemetery stone repair work part time in the summer months and spends as much time as he can with his grandchildren to support them in their projects. Writing books has been in his mind for many years and he has been able to squeeze writing into his schedule the last few years starting with “Intrusion”, followed by a sequel, “Ripples in our Time Line”. This new book is totally different from the first two. He is starting on another very different book, “Lights”, a mystery.
