"Old Days - A Step Back In Time." The title says it all. A novel
based on facts and experience, the book explores a few years in the
life of Keith Nail, who left his Pennsylvania home in the 1850s,
traveling west to stake a claim. Today we would call it an
adventure story, but it was the life he and many others chose. We
experience his interactions with his neighbors, the struggle of his
first winter, his encounter with the Indians, and the mutual
support of all the families staking their claims. The story is
poignant, including humorous as well as sad events. The unexpected
ending makes you want more. Many of Keith's experiences are based
on the author's own experiences. As David says: "I come from a long
line of farmers, outdoorsmen, animal-lovers, and self-reliant
providers. Keith's adventures, although fictional, are grounded in
that same spirit."

years as a New York State Environmental Conservation Officer, Dick
Lang has more stories than could fit into any one volume. Join him
as he watches a fellow officer give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to
a deer, runs high-speed chases after dark, moves a cougar in the
patrol car, finds a skeleton in the trunk of a car, and many more
fun stories. Told in Dick's comfortable, easy-to-read style and
embellished with photos and illustrations, this is a book that will
appeal to all ages and is a tribute to the dedication of our
Environmental Conservation Officers, regardless of which state they
