Poetry and prose is my style of sententious writing which offers a variety for readers. Few words with more meaning gives me the opportunity to cover events, quickly but critically. Since Quasqueton is only a few miles from my house, I call this area my home. It was an honor for me to write about historical individuals, whose names were immortalized by this beautiful river. It's beauty is equally shared by the people who also call this lovely location home. I received much assistance from certain people who were named in this novel. Unfortunately, all the people of this great area could not be mentioned, but their spirits were represented in this writing. A special thank you to all of the citizens of Quasky for keeping your town alive and well for so many years. You have much to be proud of and especially your generosity of sharing it with others.
