CONCEPT STATEMENT
True stories touted as unbelievable stimulate strong curiosity. Although rare, when they surface, such books are exciting to promote because unbelievability injects readers with tremendous anticipation. The historical biography, Oldest Independent Man, 110 Years of Walter Casey Jones offers an unprecedented literary journey. Crafted from Philip Tennyson’s recordings made during several months of interviewing the super-centenarian when he was 109, Oldest Independent Man is filled with vivid recollections that track the life-journey of an extraordinary human specimen. Jones spent his final years promoting his unique gospel of longevity to grateful American audiences. There is so much to learn from his reminiscences and great entertainment as well.
Jones gained worldwide recognition at the end of his life as the only American man ever to survive independently to super-centenarian status, (age 110). His historic achievements were made more unbelievable, because his centenarian years were burdened by his grueling vagabond lifestyle. During the last seven years of his life, the old fellow traipsed solo, throughout the USA, promoting himself by day and dry-camping in his aged RV at night. His biography deserves a prominent spot on every reference shelf in every American library. Readers of all stripes will warmly embrace the adventures of Walter Casey Jones because his unique approach to life is guaranteed to fortify their belief in the triumph of the human spirit.
