Rice Roots: The Vietnam War: True Stories From The Diary Of A U.S. Combat Advisor
By Robert R. Amon Jr.
Legacies & Memories Publishing
As a U.S. combat advisor, Lieutenant Robert Amon’s Vietnam War experiences were immeasurably different than those of most conventional U.S. combatants in that war. He and his five-man team of Americans, living on their own in remote villages in the Mekong Delta, fought side-by-side with the South Vietnamese soldiers they were advising.
Rice Roots is his diary-based true story showing the raw emotion, anguish and heartbreak of the chaos of war while attempting to win the hearts and minds of South Vietnamese villagers, many of whom understandably harbored uncertain loyalties.
Mr. Amon’s year-long war experiences are carefully chronicled in reflections of harrowing days “in the field” in 1969, one of the bloodiest years of the war. The impact on his life became a fifty-year struggle for him to overcome the trauma of war and discover that it’s possible to separate oneself from the inner demons, pick up the shattered pieces and become whole again.

The Moffetts of Leggygowan & the Land of Lincoln
By David M. Moffett & Mark K. Windover
Legacies & Memories Publishing
This book tells the story of a Scotch Irish family, the Moffetts, who migrated from the Lowlands of Scotland in the late 1600s to County Down, Ireland. They settled in the townland of Leggygowan where they raised a family of nine children on a small farm.
In the period 1777-1784, three young brothers sailed for America to seek freedom from British tyranny and the hope for a better life. This family traces its history from its early settlement in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania to the frontier of Kentucky and finally to Macon County, Illinois. There the Moffetts settled across the river from another Kentucky family, the Lincolns. Their son, Abraham, became a family friend and lawyer for the Moffetts. He would later become the 14th President of the United States. The Moffetts were among the first to promote the young back woodsman as a presidential candidate.
