Given that he was to become a student of human nature with an interest in writing, Julian K. Nail could not have grown up in a better place than St. Paul, Indiana. Born in 1923, the youngest of seven children, he was exposed to story lines even before he started working as a young boy in his father's dry goods store, which was something of a central marketplace for the greater St. Paul area. The stories chronicled here will no doubt be of particular interest to the Nail family and to St. Paul, but if you enjoy reading family-oriented, small town USA folklore, you'll be delighted by these rich stories and vignettes.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Throughout his postal service career, Julian Nail wrote extensively for various publications. Once the respective publishing personnel learned of his keen ability to turn a phrase with his folksy style, he was often called upon to do feature writing. Using the pseudonym K. J. Lian (J. K. Nail backward), Nail wrote a regular column in the Indiana district newsletter. The editor wanted to turn an otherwise dry and boring publication into something employees would look forward to reading. And it worked. In 2010, Nail published his first book, WWII: Remembrances, Observations, Perspectives (Rio Norte Press), which drew high praise from readers, particularly WWII veterans, throughout the United States and Eastern Europe. Readers appreciated his vivid descriptions and detailed accounts of his personal experiences during the war. With Memories of an American Life, Nail is appealing to a broader audience. Here, the author reaches out to readers who appreciate American history, especially anecdotal-stories drawn from a way of life that has passed but is still part of the foundation of the American experience. Given that he was to become a student of human nature with an interest in writing, Nail couldn't have grown up in a better place than St. Paul, Indiana. Born in 1923, the youngest of seven children, he was exposed to storylines even before he started working as a young boy in his father's dry goods store, which was something of a central marketplace for Greater St. Paul. The stories chronicled here will no doubt be of particular interest to the Nail family-and to the St. Paul, Indiana, community. But anyone who enjoys reading family-oriented, small-town USA folklore will be delighted by the rich stories and vignettes shared here by the ninety-three-year-old author.
