May to December Miracles |
May to December Miracles is a fictionalized account, but true in most details, of the life of my wife's father, William A. Baker, born in 1866, as written in his memoirs the month before his death in 1955. My wife Alice was born when he was 76 years old; he kept true to his vow to wear out before rusting out. This fictionalized memoir includes true life episodes in the lives of his father, mother, and uncle relative to their service in the U.S. Civil War. Uncle Dave lost a leg at the Battle of Chickamauga, lay unattended and untreated in the battlefield for four days before having his leg amputated. He was miraculously found by his brother in the Chattanooga hospital. William's father, Abner, subsequently became Brother David's wound dresser as well as wound dresser to many other Union officers. William's mother, Martha also enlisted as one of the very few women Army nurses in the Civil War. Martha was later highlighted in Mary Holland's book, "Our Army Nurses: Stories from Women in the Civil War" published in 1895 which has more recently been republished in the 21st century. "Women Nurses in the Civil War" Join William in his enthusiasm at seeing his very first automobile in 1898 at the Omaha International Exposition and subsequent enthusiasm with his very own 1914 Buick Model B-25. Join William when, as a twelve year old, his father attempted to move the family from Atchison Kansas to the Dakota Territory in a dangerous and impossible way, only to end up being flooded into becoming a resident of Missouri, the state he had sworn would be a worse choice than Hades. Cry with him as he suffers a double tragedy, but rejoice with him as a miracle lifts him up. Live with him his life going from the pioneer life in an emerging industrial revolution to the technologies of jet planes and atom bombs of the middle twentieth century. |
