Do you wonder what it was like to be young and living in a coal camp? You probably never thought about it! Children living in 1900 did not have running water or indoor plumbing. There were no computers, cell phones, or iPads. What did they do? How did they survive? As you read Stories from the Arroyos, you will be taken back in time. You will learn how children worked, played, and dreamed. You will discover history and learn cultural differences. You will read about sympathy, caring, and trusting. Come, walk with me into the past and spend some time visiting the children, ages seven to thirteen. If you are this age now, you will enjoy these stories. So let's take a walk into the arroyos and see what was left behind and what it all meant to the children of that era. Some things never change-like imagination, dreams, and hope.
Autorenporträt
Kathryn Carpenter has always like writing, but her life is not that of a writer. She was an elementary teacher, pastoral minister, and now a nurse. Presently, Katherine is teaching nursing at Trinidad State College in Southeastern Colorado and she does staff nursing at the Spanish Peaks Veterans Community Living Center in Walsenburg. Because of her love of mountains, Katherine relocated to Wisconsin. She then found great interest in the coal mines within the area, this inspired her to write this story.
