Produktinformationen zu „Wiley Hall (ePub)“
Wiley Hall is a collection of twenty-five short nonfiction stories. The stories are of people, places, and events that the author related to and experienced during his formative years in an orphanage. The characters are representative of humankindstern, ignorant, wise, industrious, humorous, and playful. The beauty of the Adirondack Mountains come to life at the Camp. Gothic buildings standing tall and foreboding contrasted with the serenity of the chapels. Senior citizens skipped a generation and interacted with children regaling them with stories of World War I, their fathers fighting in the American Civil War, sailing to exotic ports, and experiencing the stock market crash of 1929. While the children covered the face of North America and Europe, prejudices were evident by those in charge, not realizing that many of the children came from backgrounds from southern and eastern Europe. Despite these derogatory manifestations, the children succeeded in their chosen walks of life.
Autoren-Porträt von Kenneth A. Pettit
Kenneth Pettit, a native Californian, was raised in a New York state orphanage. This institution was founded in 1892 as "an Asylum for worthy and destitute Masons, their widows and orphans." Upon the death of their parents, Kenny and his older brothers were placed on a train and traveled cross-country to their new Home located in Utica, New York. It was at this home that Kenny would experience sorrow, loneliness, and joy, together with his new family of brothers and sisters for the next thirteen years. In all, 969 children entered the home.
