When the Old Bell Rang

By William David Redwine

"A wonderful depiction of what life was like in pioneer classrooms, Wild West towns, and on frontier homesteads!" - Tim Kinnard Newly revised and edited by Tim Kinnard, a Christian influencer in the Arkansas homesteading community and great-grandson of the author, "When the Old Bell Rang," first written by W.D. Redwine, is a wonderful nostalgic historical fiction based on true events and full of adventure, romance, humor and wholesome Christian values. Anyone longing for a visit to yesteryear to see what life was like on old frontier homesteads and in early pioneer one-room schoolhouses will enjoy this book! From the backwoods of North Carolina to the wild west towns of Arkansas along the Indian Territory border during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Lingurn ("Lingie") March Redwine knew what it meant to pursue a dream. His insatiable love of learning from a young age set his feet on the path of teaching and kept him going through even the hardest of trials. Along the way, L.M. marries the love of his life, and together they make a name for themselves as pioneer teachers in Choctaw country, coal-mining towns, and farming communities, including the tough frontier town of Fort Smith with its infamous saloons, outlaws, and hangings. W.D. Redwine beautifully captures the flavor of the times with inspired tales and transports readers back to a picturesque era of America's past, filled with both joyous moments and setbacks told through the story of the struggles and triumphs of Professor Redwine and his wife.
