Mr. Coulter said, "This Is the Way I Heard It is a defense for telling some of the most outlandish stories ever heard, but they all took place right here in Sale Creek. All of these stories started as the unvarnished truth. Still, as I noted in the preface of this book and many of the stories themselves, by the time they got dragged kicking and screaming through sitting parlors, oak tree gathering places for a bunch of older men, a blacksmith shop, a tavern, and the front porch of a country store, they got enlarged to the point that no one knows anymore what the actual original truth of the matter was."
