About the Book

The details of Clyde A. Barbour's early life on the Mississippi River call to mind the adventures of that famous riverboat pilot Mark Twain, and like Twain, Clyde would never be content with a life limited by riverbanks - his dreams and ambitions went far beyond the river's reach. A determined young man with boundless ambition, Clyde became a steamboat captain, a self-taught man with an appreciation of art and culture, and a driven businessman and pioneer of American industry and development. With his beloved Jennie beside him, he set out to build a life for his growing family that would change the lives of almost everyone with whom he came in contact, and of many who never met him. In Barbours Cut, novelist Nancy Potter has painstakingly combined family lore and documented fact to recreate the compelling story of her great- grandparents. In 1900, as today, there were many in America who were determined to make as much money as possible-and by whatever means necessary. Captain Barbour was different, a hard-working laborer and then entrepreneur whose open honesty and sincerity drew people to him and inspired trust. Whenever he saw someone in need or an opportunity waiting to be seized, he acted without hesitation, confidently, shrewdly, and prudently. Clyde suffered many hardships, disappointments, setbacks, and struggles, but he never stopped believing in himself or his vision, and his Jennie never stopped believing in him.

Review :
"Nancy Potter's recounting of the lives of her great-grandparents recreates the bayous of Louisiana and the boardrooms of New York City in such detail that you'll be transported back in time and to places you've never been. Her characters' struggles and successes will inspire you. It was particularly exciting for me to read about these people who lived at Oaklawn Manor as I have for many years. The town of Franklin, Louisiana, has felt indebted to Captain Barbour since the Great Depression when he renovated Oaklawn keeping so many townspeople employed." -Mrs. Mike (Alice) Foster, Former First Lady of Louisiana 1996-2006 "Barbours Cut is a literary journey that captivates the reader from the onset, weaving a rich tapestry of triumph, emotion, and wit. Fol- lowing the remarkable rise of Clyde Barbour, this enthralling tale not only entertains but educates, providing valuable insights into seiz- ing opportunities and navigating life's complex paths. The fusion of romance, suspense, and humor breathes life into a rags-to-riches story that resonates with real human experience. Clyde Barbour's wisdom and humanity make him a relatable and inspiring figure. You won't want to put this book down; it's a guide and companion for anyone seeking to flourish in life with grace and intelligence." -Peggy McColl, New York Times Bestselling Author "Nancy Potter draws on a wealth of family history to bring this unique story to life. It is the rags-to-riches story of her great-grandparents' lives around the turn of the 20th century. It reads like historical fiction but then, inserted among the pages, are amazing, vintage pho- tographs of the real characters, reminding the reader that this is a true story. Nancy's wealth of knowledge and attention to detail add much credibility to this remarkable story. I couldn't put it down." -Willard Howe, Author of the International bestseller, Sticks in the Clouds. "I was roped into the story from the very first page and didn't want to put it down. Barbours Cut has a great combination of rags-to-riches story, suspense, romance, humor, real human emotion, and one of my favorite elements, insight into how someone with a poor back- ground was able to spot one opportunity after another and capitalize on them. Clyde Barbour is a good role model for almost anybody on how to get ahead in the world in an intelligent and humanistic way." -Mike Rydin, Former HCSS CEO "As it takes you down the Mississippi River and then to Texas, Mexico, and New York, Barbours Cut is so engrossing and at times so grip- ping that you completely forget it's a story about real people and their lives. Nancy Potter brings to life people whose voices you can hear and emotions you can feel, she evokes them all so vividly that you feel you're in the room with them." -Judy O'Beirn, President, Hasmark Publishing Intr.
