About the book
The stories in this book, Pug Potter’s Journal No. 1 and No. 2, were
originally written as a continuing daily feature for the Daily News of
Kingsport.
That accounts for such phrases as “Just wait till I tell you what happened
next” in many short chapters. Designed to be read in short takes
and on a day to day basis, the material was never plotted as a separate volume.
The results, however, are entertaining and give a good character picture of a story teller from earlier days in our area.
Pug himself is a combined portrait of five or six individuals the author knew well and remembers vividly.
While the accounts told here may not be completely accurate historically,
they were related as personal experiences by those individuals and certainly give a colorful, humorous understanding of the people, the place, and the time in which the East Tennessee-Virginia border country and the Tri Cities area blossomed and
began to grow.
The stories continue in Pug Potter’s Journal No. 3, published under the title of “The Kinnie Wagner Story”.
