Richard E. McCullough

4.9/5 (31713 ratings)

Description:In the second decade of the 21st century, the first baby boomers are entering their retirement years, and many Americans are rediscovering their small town roots. Seeking a retirement environment with lower crime rates, a lower cost of living, and a more traditional way of life, many Americans are returning to small-town America. In the years to come, this reverse migration will change the nature and economy of many rural communities as baby boomers retire in increasing numbers. As the baby boom generation renews its ties with small-town America, many are sharing with their children and grandchildren the stories of their experiences growing up in these small rural communities. As the face and character of our country continues to change, it is important that the legacy of small-town America be handed down to today’s generation so that they may understand the forces that shaped the culture and values prevalent in American society today. Peaceful Valley tells the legacy of small-town America through the true story of a small prairie town in southwest Oklahoma. Founded in August 1909, the town of Tipton, Oklahoma, was born to provide the needs of the farmers who settled the open prairie during the last great land opening in the Oklahoma Territory. Tipton valley is transformed into one of the richest agricultural areas in this section of the country and becomes known as the “Buckle of the Cotton Belt.” Imbedded in the story of this small rural community is the legacy of small-town America’s cultural, economic, political, and religious roots as formed in the first 50 years of the 20th century. From the first prairie pioneers, through the Roaring 20s, Prohibition, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, two world wars, racial segregation, and the post-World War II economic boom, the citizens of small-town America were molded by and their beliefs shaped by their experiences, historical events, and their unrelenting drive to progress. Witness the unfolding of history through the hopes and dreams, the tears and triumphs, and the hard work and determination of Tipton valley’s citizens to establish a home and rear the next generation. These were colorful and eventful years filled with heroes and villains, successes and setbacks, and historical events which set the stage for the modern-day world we live in today. Peaceful Valley conveys the unique spirit and moral integrity of a small American community and the contributions of small-town America to the American way of life.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
