Hoke's Mill Bridge by: Robert E. Tuckwiller, Artist
 
Robert E. Tuckwiller grew up on a farm near Lewisburg, West Virginia.  The next to youngest of five children, he developed his interest in art at an early age.  He recieved his B.S. degree from Concord University, in Athens, West Virginia.  Acclained as a realist, much of his work depicts the quiet beauty of pastoral country settings and the natural environment.  While Robert enjoys hiking, biking, and canoeing to find his subjects, many come from leisurely drives throughout the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia.  Today, Tuckwiller's award winning work can be found in more then 26,000 private and corporate collections throughout the United States and abroad.  He has released 97 signed and numbered limited edition prints, 57 of which are now sold out.
Robert has agreed to donate a portion of the sales of the Hoke's Mill Bridge print to help with the various FOTSC, Inc. projects 
Details:  Print price is $60.   Limited edition offset lithographic print.  Edition of 500 signed and numbered prints.  Image size 13X21.  Shipped flat for $10 anywhere in the United States.

"News from the Crik' Zip 24974"
This is a fun book from author Dennis E. White, a long time resident of the Second Crik' water shed.  The folks in this book are fictional but most of the stories really happened during White's childhood.  Well---except the last one, it probably didn't happen during anyone's childhood.
 
"News from the Crik' Book I" is available directly from the author and he contributes an amount directly to FOTSC, Inc. from each sale.
 
The cost of the book is $16.98(WV residents add sales tax for a total of $18 each book).   Shipping and handling is $6.00 for up to 3 books and an additional $3 for each book thereafter.
Make check or MO payable to Dennis E. White and his mailing address is
R#2 Box 50A, Sinks Grove, WV 24976 
 
 
Mr. White has formed a business called Second Creek Publications.  Under this banner several projects are in the works.  The first will be book II of the News from the Crik' series to appear sometime in the near future.
Also he plans to reproduce a very old manuscript of a series of Letters to the Editor of a local news paper intitled "History of the Irish Corner".  These were printed in the middle 1920's and are a great view into the life and times of this area of Greenbrier and Monroe County, WV from the Civil War untill the 20's. This book should also be available sometime in 2008.
Audio versions of "News from the Crik' Zip 24974" are in the works. 

More items for sale will soon appear on this page.
