Mr. Pratt does not consider himself to be a writer but considers himself a history lover. Peytonsville is unique to him because he says, “for seventy-seven years, I have attended the same church in Peytonsville. The people of the community were good, solid people who helped each other and sincerely cared for their neighbors. It was an ideal place to grow up.” To Paul, talent seemed to be in the water in the 13th District. Musical families flourished as talent for playing the guitar, banjo, fiddle and singing pure country passed through bloodlines of many families in the District.” This book includes the tales of many significant people who came together to settle and create the special area of Williamson County. He explains that, “there are many stories about folks from all walks of life.” He also includes stories and history of many of the local businesses, churches, schools and cemeteries.

Paul loves the entire book. However, his favorite story is about his beloved teacher Ms. Katie Lou Gatlin. According to Paul, “she influenced my life and the lives of so many others in our community. She was truly loved.” And Paul might have plans for another book but says, “it all depends on an elusive ancestor. So, maybe there will be another.”
