Against all odds!

This book may look like it was made for children because of the clever cover but inside is tremendous works of art that are nearly photo perfect in quality. I am very proud to see this book being offered and hope to view other works from this distinctly refined artist! I believe if your looking for a book to share with your adolesent children about a time and a place where people seldomly got by in life, and how we should be thankful and really appreciate the abundance of the things we now have and enjoy. This book offers a great start, relating to your children that everything they see, won't begin to meet everything they need! Life is a careful balance between wants and needs, and the sheer determination to dream big dreams! Illustration after illustration demostrates not only a history from where we've come, it also stresses important truths of how each man can overcome adversity as demonstrated by Mr. Mitchell! I am pleased to extend my many thanks for this book and hope you'll share these principles with your children of how: "A quitter never wins and a winner never quits."
