An American Storyteller

An American Storyteller is a collection of Thomas Herber Lindsey's stories. Growing up in my family I always heard from my father and his uncles about 'Uncle Tom' and his funny stories. My father's favorite story was 'The Major's Story.'By the time I was old enough to care or pay attention time had taken its toll on my father's memory. One of Tom's playbills was captioned 'Tom Lindsey - The Man That Can Make You Laugh.' Sometime after my father's passing I found two of Uncle Tom's notebooks and transcribed them into this book. The stories are captured exactly as they were written.Thomas Herber Lindsey was born in Durham NC on March 9 1878 and was the fourth of eight children of John Monroe and Nancy Catherine (Morris) Lindsey. He was a lawyer teacher NC Senator and traveling lecturer. He passed on Oct. 3 1941 in Wilmington NC.
