| Introduction | Gladys Adams Crump is a storyteller, a spinner of tales. Her stories are about rural Tennessee and her life growing up on a farm with a large family of eleven children. Her own children loved her stories and often begged her, "Tell us about the olden days." So, Gladys passed along the family's oral history and told them about their Tennessee heritage. As the author became older, she decided to write a memoir about her childhood experiences. The manuscript that followed has been accepted by the Tennessee State Archives for permanent retention. The writing of memories and recollections is a way of bringing life into focus and giving it significance. Written lifestories also preserve family history for future generations, Gladys has written her story so that others may know how it was in times long ago -- growing up on PZ Ridge. |
