Meet the Man from Hobbtown
Dennis R. Smith wrote Meet the Man from Hobbtown as a record of his life when he was eighty-eight years old. He began with the year he was born, December 11, 1929, and composed the account after many requests from his two daughters, Pamela (Smith) Hill of Portland, Oregon, and Angela Smith of Springfield, Missouri.
The e-book edition was published posthumously after Dennis joined his wife, Carolyn Smith, on August 31, 2023, following eight months apart. The family chose to make the book freely available for anyone who wishes to know more about him.

What to Know Before Reading Meet the Man from Hobbtown
Dennis Smith opens with his birth on December 11, 1929, and frames the narrative around his long life and family connections. The memoir is presented as a personal history written at age eighty-eight at his daughters' request. The book's publication was arranged by his family after his death and released as a free e-book. Expect a first-person account focused on one man's experiences and family relationships rather than a work of fiction or broader historical analysis.
