Mountain Editor: Trials & Triumphs of a Small Town Editor in the Turbulent 1960’s

In "Mountain Editor" the trials and triumphs of publishing a weekly newspaper are told through the editorials and columns of small-town newspaper editor Eugene Harter. A sleepy Southern town suddenly awakes to the turbulent events of the 1960's, and the newly arrived Yankee newspaper editor finds himself on center stage. Often with humor, always based on serious thoughtful reflection, the big and small events of life are revealed through the writings of this gifted journalist. This is a personal account of Harter's work, compiled and written by his wife in loving memory of him and of his contribution to the causes of those times and his efforts to use the public forum to make some sense of life and those events.

Dorothy Harter has led a busy life, filled with travel, music and raising four children. Recently, since the loss of her beloved husband of 61 years in 2010, she has been moved to write about some of their adventures. Last year she had an article published in the ＂Heartland Boating＂ magazine. Now, in this her first book, she tells an exciting and interesting story of the four years in the troubled 1960s when she and her husband published their own newspaper. She uses her own memories as a frame for her husband’s columns and editorials.
