Have You Ever Heard of Ed Buntin Town?

About the Book

THE HEART AND SOUL OF A SMALL TOWN

To fully understand the strength of a small town, one must live in a small town or learn about one or more by investigation and research.

Knowing the town history brings forth action and vigor, and reveals the soul and spirit of the town, thus, giving it life.

Small towns across the fruited plains make up the solid base for what history has shown to be the heartland of America.

Ed Buntin Town reveals:

The impact of tragedy.

How people caring about people provides solid friendships and brings about cohesion.

Faith as the basis of morality.

The necessity of the triumvirate: family, church, and school.

The meaning of Hoosier Hysteria, an Indiana tradition.

Here is a book worth reading, one that is uplifting in knowledge and fulfilling to the reader.
