Edward Farris, in His Own Words: Farmer, Student, Hitchhiker, Soldier, Father, Politician, Lobbyist, Traveler, Kentuckian
"At the insistent demand of my granddaughters] and the Farris clan generally, with the microphone and recording device furnished by my dear friend, I am attempting to start on an extended investigation and reporting of my past and my present."With these words, Edward Farris began a fascinating 7.5-hour autobiographical audio recording: growing up in rural Kentucky in the 1920s, doing his part to liberate France in WWII, serving closely with two governors and so much more. Part 1 of this book contains Ed's wonderful story in his own unique voice.Marching across France as an infantryman towards the end of WWII, Ed was involved in many engagements, both major and minor. In 1998, he sat down with a retired army colonel and spent four and a half hours recounting in great detail the two most significant of these battles: when his entire battalion was trapped on the wrong side of the Moselle River with German tanks fast approaching; and when he was knocked out of the war by German artillery fire in Achain, France. Part 2 contains these thrilling first-hand accounts in which Ed explores the battles that raged around him and the turmoil that raged within. As executive secretary (now termed "chief of staff") to Governors Clements and Wetherby from 1948-1955, Ed was intimately involved in the inner workings of Kentucky state politics. Four different times, Ed sat down with interviewers seeking insight on Ed's experiences and the powerful men he was indispensable to. Part 3 contains all of the rich details and stories from these compelling conversations.He loved. He lost. He fought. He learned. He traveled. He raised four children and was beloved by eight grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. Come take a journey and experience the unique, interesting story of this charming man's life, told in his own voice.

Everybody's Story

Loyal Rue; Edward O. Wilson

This exhilarating tale of natural history illuminates the evolution of matter, life, and consciousness. In Everybody's Story, Loyal Rue finds the means for global solidarity and cooperation in the shared story of humanity.In a compelling read for anyone interested in where we came from and where we're going, Everybody's Story offers an exhilarating tour of natural history that illuminates the evolution of matter, life, and consciousness. As old myths, religious stories, and other shared narratives of humankind are increasingly viewed as intellectually implausible and morally irrelevant, they become less likely to fulfill their original purpose-to give people answers and provide a sense of stability and peace in daily life. Loyal Rue restores that imbalance with a new story based on fact. Rue, author of a New York Times Notable Book of 1994, By the Grace of Guile: The Role of Deception in Natural History in Human Affairs, now provides an evolutionary tour recounting our shared "epic of evolution."
