A: Born and raised in Junction City, KS, in 1903. The son
of pioneer stock. His mother "did a lot of travelling in
covered wagons" while his father came to KS from North
Carolina when he was 16. There were an array of
grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and great uncles among his
antecedents who fought-some for the Union and some for the
Confederacy-in the Civil War. Pennell entered KU in 1922,
and, impressed with English literature, went to Britain, was
accepted at Oxford and studied there for three more years.
Returning to US he worked as a newspaperman. In the mid-
1930's, he abruptly returned home to Junction City to
reflect on "what it was I wanted." He read all the books he
could get about the Civil War. He took copious notes for
two years and spent the next five writing. In 1942 Pennell
went into US Army gaining rank of lieutenant in an anti-
aircraft batallion. Junction City librarian submitted his
manuscript. Accepted by Maxwell Perkins at Scribners, its
publication, was the literary event of 1944. In 1947,
Pennell moved to Oregon, living there for 16 years until his
death, at the age of 60, in 1963.

A: Born in Kansas City, KS in 1923 His great-grandparents
on both sides were early KS settlers. His father's people

mills west with the railroads, and his mother's family
formed in western KS. received A.B. in English from

Kansas in the 1890's, Tessie Barnes brought her family
out to Kansas to protect her husband from women and liquor.
But the town of Pike, where they ended up, had 12 saloons,
no side walks and a lot more scope for a man's weakness than
for a woman's dreams of respectability. Tessie's tragic-
comic struggles are told by her daughter Clara, who, in the
course of the novel, grows up and tries improving her
husband until, one day, she learns that she loves him.

for extra men, not to mention the routine of housework and
motherhood. With the exception of some of the poetry, all
of the work in this book has been published as newspaper
columns entitled "Medley" in the Beloit Gazette and in the
Beloit Call Gazette. Mrs. Reiter has written "Medley" for
well over a quarter of a century. She continues to make her
home in Kansas. She and her husband live on a farm which
overlooks the Solomon River Valley.

(nonfiction)
188 p.
This is a true story of a young woman who returned to her
hometown at Harper, KS (pop 1800) to operate a century-old
hotel in a unique and creative manner. It begins during the
"hippie" revolution and continues through the birth of the
women's movement. Her struggles for emotional and financial
survival, and efforts to maintain her identity and self-
esteem in a community where conformity is the motto and
exposure to the outside world is limited, will inspire and
challenge you. It will also dispel any romantic notions
that life is lovely in peaceful, church-going America-at
least for those who dare to be different.

Born in Iowa. His mother was from an Iowa farm and his
father was a Missionary Baptist Minister. Planning to study
law, the depression intervened. He cut logs in Oregon for a
stake to buy an Ozark farm in the Bounty River country.
From this experience came the background for his first novel
Colored Water. Jim gravitated to highway construction,
truck driving, locomotive fireman, shipyards, beet fields,
nightschool, and the air craft industry. Working his way up
from shop steward through the ranks, he was elected in 1943
to a state-wide leadership position in the trade union
movement. For over 20 years he has served as a vnion
legislative agent in the Kansas legislature and in Congress
in Washington, DC.
