Snapshots and Memories - Paperback

by Scott Mallory (Author)

Poetry and verse epics throughout history. From 674 to today. Spanning the human experience of lives lived in hard times. From hardened warriors defending a fiercely Christian Powys from a still pagan Mercia to a little boy fleeing Syria with his family just to avoid being killed by his government in 2020. A Union SGT. Maj. waiting to take his Company forward at Cold Harbor, to the man I met in a bar in Oceanside, Ca. alone with his memories of Da Nang in 1967.

From the rattle of spears 50,000 years ago, to the rattle of machineguns this afternoon, people are, and will remain, people.
