Excerpt from Up From the Hills

There seemed to be a deep roar; my thoughts went off in a jumble, round and round I sped like a wheel, and then it was over.

Excerpt from Up From the Hills

The wonderful age of sixteen arrived with all its likes and dislikes, choices and choosings, sweethearting, and teasing. The trip to the University interrupted my boyish pranks. I worked for the money. It seemed the only way to get it. And when I broke off the family tree, Dad cut me loose to pay my own debts. So through the coming years of seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, and twenty I worked for resources and went to school whenever I could. My record at the University was not a brilliant one, as the pauses to get cash were frequent. However, I finished my second year in the commercial college and acquired an appetite for more education, but the money had to come first and faster. I bade adieu to the old farm with all its happiness, plenty and memories, and went away to the mines as fast as I could go.

I saw the carloads of ore coming out of the mountain sides. It looked good to me, and I said to myself, "Here's where I make a raise." So during the vacations from school I learned to be a miner. It is a hazardous game, especially for those who lack experience.
