Alan Stie and some of his work will be featured in Bassett Historical Center’s (BHC’s) upcoming program on Tuesday, October 29 at 10:30 a.m. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held in the center’s Susan L. Adkins Memorial Meeting Room.
An author, Stie will share stories from his new book titled, “From Blue Ridge Mountain Boy to Sooner Slayer: A Perspective on Hunting, Fishing, Family, and Friends.”
The book includes many adventures all over the Midwest and a lot in rural America. Stie said that his real passion in his writing lies in a place called Franklin County, Virginia, a place that he says is like no other.
“No doubt you will want to read about Grandaddy Walter Ferguson. Grandad helped create Nascar,” Stie claims in the book, according to an online excerpt. After explaining that Ferguson got crossways with the law during moonshine-running days, the excerpt noted that “he’s also the one who took me catfishing and taught me how to catch trout. We spent a lot of time talking about the environment and of Christ.”
Books will be available to purchase from the author – Hardback $35/Softback $20.
