The Forgotten Fields: Part I – Baseball
If you stand on a quiet summer field somewhere in the Midwest, you can still hear it... The faint echo of leather against leather, the soft thud of a ball in a glove, the ghostly cheer of a crowd that has long since gone home. The weeds have grown over the baselines, the scoreboard has lost its numbers, and the bleachers sag beneath decades of rain. But the sound remains. It drifts on the wind like a hymn.

Anarcha Westcott
In the dusty medical archives of the 19th century, the name Anarcha Westcott appears quietly, not in headlines, but buried in surgical reports and footnotes. She was not a doctor. She was not a nurse. She was a young enslaved Black woman on a plantation in Montgomery, Alabama. Her body became the unwilling stage for a series of surgical experiments that would transform the field of medicine, at a devastating human cost.

Jesse James
In every family, some names carry pride, sadness, controversy- men and women whose stories never stayed tucked away in the past. For me, one such name echoes with both pride and sorrow: Jesse Woodson James. To the rest of the world, he was an outlaw and a legend, immortalized in print and film, but through his wife, Zerelda “Zee” Mimms, he is family, remembered as a man, a husband, a father. His life was tangled in violence and rebellion, yet it was woven with loyalty, family, and resilience. To speak of Jesse is not to recite his legend, but to tell the story of a man who carried scars inside and out, and who walked a path too tangled for most men to survive.

The Forgotten Fields - A 10 Part Series
By The Iron Lighthouse If you listen closely on a still summer evening, you can almost hear them... faint echoes carried on the wind. The crack of a wooden bat. The whistle of a coach with more spirit than players. The hum of a crowd huddled on splintered bleachers, wrapped in the kind of excitement that never needed a scoreboard to matter.

Roadside America & The Giant Fiberglass Statues
Somewhere out on Route 66, the sun is low, the asphalt hums, and the family station wagon’s AC isn’t quite keeping up. The kids are restless, Mom is flipping through the AAA TripTik, and Dad’s patience is hanging by a thread when suddenly... there it is! A massive, square-jawed Paul Bunyan figure looms on the horizon, clutching a hot dog the size of a telephone pole. Cameras click, kids scream, and Dad pulls over with a grin.
