{"product_id":"9781502770998","title":"Ike's Cabin","description":"Beginning with my Grandpa Ike in the early 1800's, then with my Pa (also named Ike), they wrote a collection of stories; twelve in all. They didn't give their stories any fancy titles, just Roman numbers; which they preserved in metal cylinders. My Grandpa couldn't write, so his stories were written down by my Pa; and my Pa's stories were written down by me. Well, at least until I was thirteen and was sent to live with my Aunt Molly in Springfield so I could go to school. You see, our cabin was way back in the green mountains that comprised a section of the Appalachians; tucked along the base of Granite Mountain. The only other school was across the Cumberland Gap over at Wyler's Farm, about twenty miles distance; and was grades 1 through 6. At seventeen, I graduated from Springfield High School and with the war with Japan still ongoing; I was drafted into the regular United States Army.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I received a discharge from the Army in the fall of 1943, after spending ten months at the hospital in Pearl Harbor. I made my mind to go back to my Grandpa Ike's cabin which I had inherited. I had no where else to go, and I figured back at Ike's Cabin I could get their manuscripts and finish their stories. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e So I give you Ike's Cabin, what I call a \"short story connection\"....fulfilling a promise to my Pa: to write his book.","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48533851996401,"sku":"9781502770998","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781502770998_p0.jpg?v=1786329821","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781502770998","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
