Just as an ichnolite is a fossil footprint... This Little Ichnolite of Mine fossilizes memories from a small town on the Mississippi River from 1950 to 1970. Martin Settle recounts a childhood in the woods and on the river, a Catholic education, humorous and morose, friends that became hippies and drug addicts, the town's racism and homophobia, and a family always on the edge of the law with gamblers, bootleggers, and bars. As much mythology as memoir, and told with humor and poignancy, Settle is able to remind us all about the power of "place" to shape the mental landscape of its inhabitants. ***** Legacy Book Press LLC is a traditional publishing company of personal stories told via non-fiction, fiction, poetry, or a combination.
