Across the United States the county courthouse located on the town square has been an historic landmark both revered and reviled. These structures have been one of the most identifiable features of rural America. Many of them have disappeared - destroyed for being outdated and not easily converted into our modern day world. Some of them, with their unique architecture, have been renovated and preserved. Citizens often have been vehement in their disagreement as to whether or not to preserve or replace these courthouses. I, the author, grew up in a rural Nebraska town where such a structure once graced the town square and worked summers in that particular courthouse. This book is a fictionalized version of what happened to one of these courthouses. The locale for the story line is such a rural Nebraska town. In no way do the characters and events relate to any real persons or true incidents. The story has intrigue, bribery and humor. Meet some of the characters. There is Ned, the blustery retired farmer whose life has become the courthouse; add Coonie and his coonhound Tracker. There is Harvey Morgan, the banker, as well as County Commissioner Ben Poole. Let's not forget Maudie Phillips who has a problem with her Pontiac.
