Chris’s collected works are a kind of patchwork quilt, stitched together from the fabric of his opinions, be they political or practical, his historical ponderings, personal anecdotes, genealogical forays, and vivid travelogues.

byChrisWhite (2025) They called him Big Foot. Not because he smelled of pine needles and wet dog or made a mess of chicken coops, but because he left prints the size of two dinner plates and walked with his chin high and shoulders back, like God bequeathed him dominion over grave and gravity.
