About the Book:
Forged in a County Crucible, now in it's second printing, describes the pain, the pride, and the fierce independence developed growing up on a hardscrabble farm in the 1930's. The hardships endured, the small pleasures enjoyed, and the friends, relatives, and neighbors he knew gave Joe White a balanced understanding of life's challenges and rewards that stood him well as he moved into manhood. Members of the "greatest generation" will feel kinship to Joe, and other generations will enjoy his first-hand view of one of the most challenging periods of recent American History.

This is a true story of a family struggling to survive during the depression of the 1930's. They farmed with two mules and crude farm implements. The land was rocky and the topsoil thin. The boys wore shirts and slept under sheets made from fertilizer sacks, and the mother and the only daughter often wore dresses and underwear made from flour sacks that came with print designs. But they were proud of their independence and didn't want charity. The book gives details about how they farmed in those days and about the families of relatives and friends.

From the Author:
"This book details how I began as a rookie trainee is grade GS-6, and retired 21 years later in grade GS-15; even though I came in with limited formal education and no friends or relatives in high places. My formula for success was hard work and attention to details.
I hope this book will also provide, for those not familiar with Service history, a better understanding of how things were in the Immigration Service in those days."

From the Author:
This is not a documentary.It is based on my personal recollection, except for things that happened before I arrived and after I left. Those accounts were from people I consider reliable and who were in a position to know. Any statements about other people are my opinions and are not presented as facts.
