"I found "My People, Our Trials And Tribulations" very compelling. I couldn't put it down after I started reading it. The black history poetry brought up emotions about our people that I thought were forgotten. I was reminded of our strength, our courage, our reslilience, and the hope within us. The struggle continues. I look forward to reading more of Anthony Arnold's work."

Amazing read,
There is a saying that we all need to know our past in order to know our future.... I truly believe this saying and that this book will help you to understand who you are, where you came from and where you are going. I believe that this book shall be placed in ever history class through out the world. It will not only help African Americans to understand their past and learn more about their ancestors many sacrifices but it will also help other races to better understand their past as well. It will also be great as a conversation started. I truly appreciate this book and I am glad that God bless Mr. Arnold with the ability to write and convey his historical messages. I shed a tear or two but, with great joy I truly understand my worth. Thank you for sharing this book with us mr. Arnold. Much success to you and Steamy trails publications.

Just received my copy of your book in the mail. I started reading it right away. I mean, I was reading it as I walked from the mail box. Hard to put down. Great piece of work.
Two days later also from Pierre Perry...
To Everyone, If you don't have Anthony Arnold's book, you need to get it. I got my copy a couple of days ago and I can't put it down. It's very educational and inspiring. I've never met the brotha before, so I'm not saying this as a friend, I'm saying it as a fan. He's that good. I could be here promoting my books, but I believe this one really needs to be read by all. And that's more important to me.
A budding Poet and Writer, as early as the third grade when he composed his very first poem, Florida raised writer Anthony Arnold fell in love with words finding them to be a comfort and mainstay throughout his life. Raised to be a reader by his Grandmother, he soon developed a keen awareness and love for Black History. He has a particular gift in this genre although he is one of the most versatile Poets of his generation.
As an avid reader of all genres of literature, he has found a particular passion for Black History. He believes his ancestry and the legacy of those who came before him, gave their blood, sweat and tears to make it possible for him to live a life of freedom and liberation. He is saddened by the fact that it appears the current generation has little knowledge of and doesn’t seem to know or speak of Family History, especially Black History. He hopes through his writing he is able to educate others more about the historical significance of the challenges African Americans as well as the contribution of African Americans throughout history including those events which are very rarely discussed or taught in public schools, such as African American roles in the Civil War. He hopes to shed more light on the strength of Black People throughout history.
Although his writing passion is focused a great deal on his own African American Culture Anthony Arnold has a deep love for all mankind that grew during his service to his country. Anthony Arnold has proudly retired from service in the US Air Force. During his career he was awarded numerous medals, including Air Force Achievement Medal-1986, 1993 and 2001 and many more.
Through poetic expression, this book is the beginnings of fulfilling his desire to share knowledge with the younger generation with more about their ancestors and culture; letting them know they are much more than what some in society has labeled them.
Anthony is a humble man that uses poetry to express what he knows, believes and passionately feels about culture and history. He appreciates everyone willing to have the courage to take this journey with him for a better understanding of MY PEOPLE, OUR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS.
