From Butler, MO to Bullock Island is a charming memoir describing throwback times, as if the twentieth century had not arrived in rural Butler, Missouri or Maryland's isolated Bullock Island, owned by a single family. Both places were too out of the way to be reached by modern utilities and services. Author Betty Fuqua describes life in those distant but equally isolated places, from her pre-electrifiction childhood as an able farm girl to her management of a family on an island, where the only power came from 1930s generator and the daily commute to school or work was by boat-regardless of the weather.
Betty, a working mother, commuted daily to Patuxent Air Naval Station, where she was a highly ranked legal technician.
Her husband, the D.C. high school basketball phenom Frank Fuqua, adds the drama of the unexpected to Betty''s life and story,
Her recall and writing are so aptly detailed that the reader travels on her words to the times and places of her life. Thus reading From Butler, Missouri to Maryland's Bullock Island is an immersion in earlier and rare pages of American history.
