Jack's First Job

by Donald Davis

Growing up in the Appalachian Mountains in the 1950s, Donald Davis heard his parents and grandparents tell tales about Jack. It seemed they were always talking about old Jack. As a child, Davis figured Jack to be some distant relative or other-side-of-the-mountain neighbor. In fact, he asked to visit Jack on numerous occasions but was repeatedly turned aside with one of those incomplete answers adults save especially for curious offspring.
