by Hortense Richardson
Not only has Hortense Richardson written beautiful poetry, but she has told many historic stories through her poems. She has written of schools and school districts, city and county work, old businesses and their machines and terminology, Hill Field Air Base working conditions, a radio station in Layton, the life of a soldier, LDS Wards and Stakes and their programs, geological landmarks, missions and missionaries and 1940's lifestyles, lacing these with the names of many of the people found in these areas.
Significant herein are also choice expressions from the heart over bereavement, loss and tragedy, and how one can derive comfort and growth in the wake of such incidents.

by Sam Richardson
Most of these poems were written after Richardson's 45th year. They reflect his earlier memories, beginning with "Barefoot Boys" and follow him through life and through his rejections, and then end with a bit of treasure at the end of the rainbow. Some of the poems reflect poignant feelings, as they were created partly as a cathartic mechanism to purify and purge the sorrows over disappointments he experienced earlier in life.
This book is called "Don't Ask the Butterfly," in the spirit of the poem written with that title. Richardson focussed on that poem because it--more than the rest--reflects many of the important and profound philosophies he has on life. 114 pages. 8.5x11, Paperback.

Compiled by Sam Richardson
Herein are many songs my grandmother (who was born in the late 19th Century) sang to my father and he, in turn, sang them to me. Some songs are from pioneer days. Others are songs I learned in my childhood, or more popular songs heard on the radio. The book is available for purchase by pushing the button below, but if you write me (samueler@comcast.com) I can also send you a tape of the music performed by me (not so professional) or by my family and friends (preferable).
