Book Synopsis History of Corporal Fess Whitaker by : Fess Whitaker
Book excerpt: 18 years a miner, 9 years on the railroad, 6 years a soldier, and 5 years a politician. This is the life of Corporal Fess Whitaker. Whitaker spent most of his life in the Kentucky Mountains, with stints in Virginia as a coal miner, in Texas with the Fort Worth & Denver Railroad, and abroad as a soldier. He includes a good deal of pioneer history and reminiscences of old timers, including those of Uncle Wesley Banks, the "Bugger Man" schoolmaster.
