Although this diary has circulated the globe and was entered into the Library of Congress; it was intended for a much smaller audience; his descendants. J.R. Nall was born into slavery; but says he "never slaved any." He never attended school; but eventually learned to read and write and caught most of his education "in the air." Throughout most of his life he knew nothing but hard work and dedicated himself to the education of his six children. He was most proud of his work in building a school in the town where he lived; and claims to be the only man who saw his wife and all of his children educated there. His myriad jobs included miner; butcher; and mailman; just to name a few. What J.R. Nall lacked in formal education; he made up in common sense. His values of honesty; morality; and commitment; are a model for all generations to follow.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
