Welcome to the fascinating world of the common person's history. You don't need to be rich and famous to experience life. In years gone by, people like you and me have experienced events that would make the strongest among us quake like the leaves of an aspen tree in a breeze. These are the stories you find here.

From the settling of the New World until now, ordinary people lived extraordinary lives in these united States. Their stories can encourage and motivate us. They can amaze and enthrall us.

As a man who finds strength in my relationship with Jesus, the stories I share have a redemptive character to them. They may touch on sensitive subjects but never in a decadent manner. Still, some topics (i.e. sexual abuse of children) may not be relevant for younger readers.
