The stones used for the carvings presented in this book were recycled by the author from The First National Bank that was demolished nearby his home in Cameron, WV. This book not only provides the reader with photographs of these stone carvings, done by hand with no machines, it also provides the reasons for the carvings and interpretations of each. Stories involving organizations such as SOAW ( School of Americas Watch) and Gold Star Families Fort Peace as well as stories of travel experiences in the indigenous First Nation reserve in Bella Coola, British Columbia and personal tales of mirth and woe are also presented.
