Paperback. Condición: Good. Daisy Tales and Other Stories of My Grandfather's Younger Days in the South Georgia Piney WoodsBy: Joseph P. Byrd, IV Daisy Tales and Other Stories of My Grandfather's Younger Days in the South Georgia Piney Woodsis a book of stories, remembrances and maybe a few tall tales as recounted by the author's maternal grandfather, William Leroy Edwards.Much of the material, obtained by his father, was transcribed by his mother in the summer of 1955 when his widowed grandfather visited their home. Upon reading his grandfather's stories, the author was transported back in time to the Georgia frontier and impressed with his sense of humor. Initially, thinking it a project to share with family, the author concluded these stories would appeal to a larger readership who would be interested in memoirs/history/Southern humor in addition to family history.About the AuthorJoseph P.

Afterwards, he served as Assistant Supply Officer on the USS Delta (AR-9), a Pacific Fleet Repair Ship, home ported in Alameda, California, and station ship in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Viet Nam, and the Philippines.

Along the way, he served for eight years on the faculty of Lyon College in Arkansas, and taught as an adjunct instructor at Christian Brothers University in Memphis. After leaving the academic world, Byrd spent his final years as a consultant and Marketing Research Project Manager at the UPS Corporate Headquarters in Atlanta. Since retiring from UPS, he has pursued his interests in historical research, genealogy, travel, music, and writing. He is the author of Confederate Sharpshooter Major William E. Simmons: Through the War with the 16th Georgia Infantry and 3rd Battalion Georgia Sharpshooters, Mercer University Press, 2016.
