Have any of you run across the book"Around the Water Tank", by James C. Haigler? I have seen it in my Google list whenever I am looking for something with the name Haigler and have thought several times about purchasing it on Amazon.com after reading the description, but just haven't done it yet.
Anyway, I got this really nice email from Jim Haigler today, so thought I'd share it with you. Of course, I asked him first if it was ok to tell you about him and his book - and he said it was.
Here is the email:
"I just found the Haigler Blog web site and I really never knew there was a town called Haigler. I thought it would be a good place to let some folks know about a book I recently published. A collection of stories about growing up in a small town in the 1940s and 50s. I saw the Yearbook pages from the class of 1960 posted and those folks will remember many of the experiences... Someone from Haigler may like to read humorous tales of a young Haigler growing up in a different age.
Jim Haigler "
In another email he says he is from Georgia in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The mill village where many of the stories in his book are based is about 2 miles from where he lives and is now a part of the city.
I encourage you go take a look at the book and purchase a copy for yourself! I intend to do that.
Click on this link to see a description of the book on Amazon.com. Around the Water Tank: Memories of a Mid-Century Mill Village
Be sure to read the customer reviews, also. It looks like everyone enjoys the book.
