Be sure to read historical notes and glossary

In talking with people who have read Winter of the Metal People, many are missing out on another level of the reading experience because they're not aware that extensive historical notes are available for the book.
     The historical notes include background information on the people and events in the novel, list references for key events and quotations, and provide context for better understanding that unfamiliar period in our nation's history.
     You can find links to the historical notes, glossary, and information at the novel's complementary website.
     The direct link to the historical notes page is here.
