Last Updated: March 30, 2023
Prologue:

The Great War is over and, despite the worries of the new Atomic Age and the Cold War with the strange government of the Soviets, we are progressing rapidly. I got talked into running for State Legislature and I won the election to the wonderment of everyone, especially myself. Josiah is stepping in to help me run the Farm while I am away in Sacramento and my son, Billy, is his right-hand man. Billy is only 12 years old, but, in many ways, he reminds me so much of Josiah, he is even-tempered, calm and thoughtful. He thinks twice before speaking once and even the old hands listen to him. I suspect Josiah has a great deal to do with that, whenever Josiah is home, I see the two with their heads together. Billy is a master at getting everyone to agree with him, he makes them think it was their own idea to begin with. Between the two of them, Blount Farm is in good hands while I am away in Sacramento. Poppa and Momma are with us still, but I worry about Poppa, he is unsteady on is feet and his hands shake a lot, Momma watches him like a hawk. Isaac
