Book Description
Brown County, Indiana is a hill encrusted, heavily forested jewel of Geography, which has retained a turn-of-the-century rural reputation. For over one hundred years it has harbored a major Midwest art colony that has thrived alongside the "local-rustics." Creative intellectual individuals live among commonsense, down-to-earth individuals; ironically a beloved combination from both sides of the coin to this day. These Gunther Flumm Chronicles while entirely fictious could have actually happened if anything in them was even close to reality, which of course they are not! However do not let that dissuade you from enjoying the mysterious mishaps that these yarns so inelegantly describe in the language of the Hoosier Hillbilly, Gunther Flumm. Each reader will find that each tale stands on its own complete with illustrations by John William Sisson. Just what was it that inspired Gunther? Was it an extra good batch of moonshine or a good dose of hickory from his wood fire? One thing does remain clear, actual factual fantasy has remained alive and unabated? It's also clear to me that you will enjoy this collection of County yarns.

Book Description
As far as I know, no one else has done such a book as this one giving the history of the whole of Brown County, so I did it myself with the help of Rhonda A. Dunn. I cover most of the happenings in Brown County for more than 220 years up until the present time. To do this I had to make the book into two parts, the older parts are from the 1800s and that section is called simply, THEN. The stories of what is in Brown County since that time but up to today, is simply called, NOW. Then when we added the new history center, we went to three parts for this book to keep it simple to keep the history together for easier handling and reading. Brown County has changed so much in 220 years that it is amazing. But most of what we are today is what we started from actually. I think you will find this to be true if you read the book in its entirety. Most of the early settlers were from the states of the Carolinas, Virginias, Ohio and Kentucky. Many of those people or their offspring are still here today but we are having an influx of what some call “furriners” today. People today come from the cities to visit, decide they like it here as much as we do and buy up a piece of land and build a log home and stay here. It takes all kinds to make a homogenous group. I think we have done our best to accomplish that. So, pull yourself up a chair, grab a cup of coffee or iced tea, and set a spell and read all about us in this first ever fairly complete history of Brown County. Ya’ll come back now, ya hear!!

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
The purpose of this book is to share some of the fun and interesting things that happened when I was growing up in Brown County. The stories offered here were told to my five daughters around campfires and at many bedtime sessions as they were growing up. They requested that I tell them over and over again. They heard these stories, and many others like them, so many times they said they felt like they actually grew up with Cobweb, and Virgil, and Hazel, and Sis, and Bobby, and Stretch. After many retellings I was once obliged to let my youngest daughter know that I had told her everything I could remember, or even make up. To which she replied, “OK then, just start over.” The various accounts of these uncommon experiences were reinforced for my daughters when they visited their grandmother who lived in Nashville, the County Seat of Brown County, and were able to explore the territory where they took place. All of these stories are based on things that actually happened to me and other live people in the good old days in Brown County. They are as true as creative memory will allow.

Most of the stories were told to my five daughters around campfires and at many bedtime sessions as they were growing up. After several years of story times I was once obliged to let my youngest daughter, Abby Monroe, know that I had told her everything I could remember or even make up. Her response was, “OK, just start over.” The various accounts of these uncommon experiences were reinforced for Abby and her older sisters as they visited their grandmother in Nashville, the County Seat of Brown County. From that base, they were able to explore the territory where the stories took place. This volume includes some stories that were recently shared with me by friends who felt they would help to illustrate what Brown County was like in the good old days. They are as true as creative memories have allowed. They also provide additional support for the maxim that truth is often stranger than fiction
