The Voice of the Heritage ​"I am the third great-grandson of Robert Martin—the man who signed with an 'X' to claim 878 acres of Appalachian soil. My mission is the restoration of the truth." ​A 13-year United States Marine Corps veteran and a Deacon called into ministry in 1991, Hollie brings a lifetime of discipline and spiritual stewardship to the history of the Raccoon Run Settlement and Darkey-Fork. ​After 27 years of deep-cover genealogical research, Hollie is the founder of Timberline Tales and the voice behind Global Select Books. He doesn't just tell stories; he documents a legacy of defiance and land-ownership that was meant to be forgotten. ​From the sugar plantations of Jamaica to the rugged timberlines of the hollers of West Virginia, the paper trail is real. The deeds are signed. The history is reclaimed. ​I Have Spoken
