He probably didn't show up in farming country after writing that book!
Take my word for this, farmers seldom say what is politically correct. I enjoyed the little verse in Pic #3. I love the book. Thanks for sharing it.
Walksoft I think his intent was to tell the story of a farmers poor life but he uses some strong language . There are lots of graphics and some are raciest and I did not show them . We both were farmers and I would not have bought the book . It is a satire I guess you might say .
Thanks fhrj Thanks for comment . I agree farmers we say what is on our mind :-)
Thank you mrmaj and bratjdd !

Do you still have this book? If so, I was wondering if you would consider selling it? W.F. Shilling was my Great Grandfather and I've been trying to locate the books he wrote.
Hi melinda I still have it just have to remember where I put it . We can't sell on this site but I would give it to you , but it may take me sometime to find book . We moved alot of my stuff into attic so I have to hope it is not there . If you email me at manikin1234@aol.com I will just send it to you when I locate it . It could not have a better home than with the author's great grand daughter :-)
that would be the coolest thing ever. thank you so much.
It is a gift and on way to you . Glad it found the right home :-)
