About this title

Synopsis

One writer’s sunny take on everyday life and trouble

This collection gathers Harmon D. Wilson’s newspaper sketches and verse from a decade of work. The book blends humor, homespun wisdom, and hopeful reflections from the late Kansas journalist’s world.

With introductions and biographical notes, the volume presents a portrait of a busy editor who found meaning in small moments, both comic and tender. You’ll meet the Ornery Boy, veterans of the railroad yards, and other memorable figures who illuminate the rhythms of small-town America. The pieces are varied in tone, ranging from playful verse to thoughtful prose, all delivered with warmth and honesty.

A lively mix of sketches from Wilson’s newspaper columns, capturing character and scene with humor.
Profiles and anecdotes that center on ordinary people and their larger-than-life moments.
Light verse and shorter poems that pair wit with everyday insight.
Contextual notes and biographical sketches that frame the author’s life and work.

Ideal for readers who enjoy midwestern humor, social observation, and compact, accessible storytelling from a bygone era.
