Faraway Times and Places

From Kansas to Las Cruces to Taos and beyond, artist and author Carolene Callahan Herbel tells tales in Faraway Times and Places that capture the tenderness, hardship, and challenges of the Greatest Generation, those Americans who, in the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, had a “rendezvous with destiny."

Join the author on her adventurous 1973 trip to Communist Russia; her 1952 meeting with Dwight David Eisenhower when he announced his candidacy for president of the United States; her 1944 escapade with friends as they made tables rise, utilizing the forbidden powers of the paranormal in the conservative town of Morehead, Kansas; and in her family’s struggle to survive on their eighty-acre farm in southeast Kansas, plagued by debt and physical hardship, from the time of the Great Depression through World War II. ”
