Wesley's Bunch
Alton Miller shares his memories of Wesley's Bunch. A story as much about the miles as it is about the years. His mama and daddy may call Louisiana home, but their nine children are more at home on the road. Moving from sawmill camps and homemade shacks in the 1950's and 60's the Millers grow up road broke. Alton shares his story with simple language and an innocent outlook.
Riding in the back of pickups, in homemade campers or a converted school bus, with Mama cooking in roadside camps, Daddy is always ready to move on. Living in the log woods of Oregon and New Mexico, Colorado to Alaska, Montana to Louisiana, Alton's childhood is a boys adventure. The rules set down by Daddy the only ones to follow...sometimes.

June 2015: The book is now published! Here was my old review of it. Now y'all can go read it!
Old Review Mar 2014: This book isn't officially published, but my friend Amy wrote this and is trying to make it into a real book. The book is a compilation of stories/history told from the perspective of her father, Alton and his growing up years in a logging family.
These stories were fascinating! I would describe this book as a combination of "Little House on the Prairie," "Huckleberry Fin," "No Life for a Lady," and "Angela's Ashes." They were a tough family trying to make ends meet while moving all over the country to the next job.
The title is not certain yet. Other options being considered are "No Place Called Home," and "Wesley's Bunch."
If this book actually gets published, READ IT!
