George Washington's Smallest Army

The Miracle Before Trenton

By: Grandpa Dennis

George Washington's Smallest Army is a fanciful, feel good tale of three critters who live around Miller's Pond in Pennsylvania, and how they help George Washington at a critical time in the Revolutionary War. Before they help him, a wise owl teaches a young frog to speak other critter languages, and they later recruit a third critter--a white mouse-- to help them "civilize" the critters around the pond. They save the life of a large wolf, and later meet George Washington who has just been chased out of New Jersey by the Redcoats. At this point they create a clever plan that helps George build confidence to later cross the Delaware River and defeat the Redcoats at Trenton and Princeton. The story is consistent with historic accounts of the Revolutionary War, and one must wonder, did it really happen this way? It's possible, maybe.

Maine's Appalachian Trail

How Seniors Made Section Hiking Easier

By: Harvey A. Dennenberg a.k.a. GrandPa Walking

Maine's Appalachian Trail: How Seniors Made Section Hiking Easier By: Harvey A. Dennenberg Of the fourteen states traversed by the Appalachian Trail (AT), Maine is considered the most difficult to hike because of its rugged, steep terrain. So, how were “GrandPa Walking” and his fellow seniors able to hike Maine’s treacherous peaks? With proper planning and resources, it is possible for seniors, even those in their seventies, to hike the AT in Maine. In this book, GrandPa Walking shares the specific gear and creative routes he and other younger seniors used in order to day hike and limit their overnight backpacking stays. He also provides directions and GPS coordinates for little-known access points. The author has hiked the entire AT over thirteen-seasons of which Maine’s AT was hiked during part of June and July for eight of those seasons. Even those not looking to hike the AT will enjoy this account of the author’s journey through rugged Maine’s AT.

Gifts from Grandpa

By: Grandpa Doc

The aim of this volume originally was to occupy my time during the start of and worst of the Pandemic of 2020. As I started, I realized that I could write. For me writing was like surgery without anesthesia. The subject of the volume was to allow others to perhaps learn from my self-induced pain and pain brought by others, Although the sentiments are true to my heart, the examples used and people referred to are not meant to be actual history but lessons and teachings. The aim was not to generate money from my endeavors. It was to give those now and forever life lessons. All net proceeds will be directed to charitable endeavors. I do hope that these pages which follow serve to satisfy this dream.

How to Become Truly Wealthy

By: Grandpa "Bert" Foster

What could possibly have motivated a comfortably retired ninety-year-old former engineer to write a book titled How to Become Truly Wealthy? I was troubled seeing so many young Americans following their peers into bad life decisions, crushing debt, poor behavior, and a flawed idea of what true wealth is. I wrote this book to tell my grandchildren and great-grandchildren what I wish someone had told me when I was young. It is my sincere hope that anyone that feels the same way about their children or grandchildren (or themselves) might benefit from this effort as well. I have been blessed with many years' worth of experiences and the wisdom they bring. This book is my way of giving back what I can-by passing it on to you. As I explain within these covers, human wealth is measured by much more than just money. You and your brain are the most important wealth you have. I truly hope that you will join me to learn much more and that you enjoy the journey! This book is divided into the following parts: Wealth vs. Money How to Grow Your Human Wealth How to Become Financially Wealthy Protect Your Wealth: Future Concerns Appendices

Letters From Woody Woodchuck

By: Charlie Costello "Old Grandpa"

After my parents separated, my mom and I moved into my grandparents' home. During this change in my life, my grandpa gave me a very special gift. It was not of material value, but rather the gifts of kindness, love, and imagination. Through dozens of letters that were left for me inside a small, white mailbox, my grandpa created a magical world as seen through the eyes of a wise old woodchuck named Woody. These letters, which often arrived every day, provided me with a sense of hope and expectation. Stories that captivated me as a four-year-old are now valuable life lessons. The adventures of Woody and his friends help me to cherish my childhood and keep the spirit of Grandpa close to my heart." -Beth

By: Donald Roger Draayer,Grandpa Don Draayer

A Universal Story Two children, Dirk and Dawn, play with their neighbor's large dog, named BIG DOG. A dog wish is placed deep into their minds and hearts. Again and again, they plead with their dad and mom for their own dog at their own home, but the answer is always, "No!" When the neighbor's dog comes to their house for a two-day stay, Dirk and Dawn are delighted. They are filled with hope that the dog's visit will turn the "No!" into a "Yes!" Within minutes of BIG DOG's arrival, troubles show up, too. His good nature is never in doubt, but his habits and actions do not help the children's cause.

Robby the Donkey

Shares His Family Christmas with His Friends

By: Grandpa Jake

Hee-haw! Hee-haw! Oh, I'm sorry. I just assumed if you were reading this, you understood donkey. Luckily, you don't have to. Robby is a happy, carefree donkey living on a farm with his rowdy bunch of farm friends. There are the ponies Reese, Remi, and Bowie; the rumbling steers Ryan, Asher, and Maverick; the beautiful Collie, Ella; Wilbur the goose; and Gordy the pig. Robby retells the story of his great-grandfather Jako, who was the reliable donkey of Joseph of Nazareth and helped Mary by being her gallant escape donkey, and his long taxing journey, eventually meeting Baby Jesus. If you're sick of reading this book to your children or grandchildren because it's their favorite, just tell them you don't speak donkey.
