Why choose the book

What's inside the book. Chapters covered

On March 16, 2016, a playful tweet by Kelsey Harmon soared through cyberspace, making her Papaw into America’s Sad Papaw. Now, through the pages of Sad Papaw’s Heritage, we learn more about the man behind the image. A history that began on the wheat fields of Kentucky.

Revisit the days when Americans first took to the fields to play a new game called baseball. Be there as the farmers struggled with hard work, doubts, and dreams of a new life in America. Experience the days when children first tasted graham crackers and peanut butter cookies. Days when parents and doctors struggled to find a cure for simple ailments such as pneumonia, headaches, and even labor pains. It was a time in America that will never be forgotten.
