Description:This is a very unusual kind of history book. It is a collection of memories in story form written by old-timers and not-so-old-timers who remember what life was really like back in the earlier years of the 20th century. These folks come from all walks of life, and by voluntarily sharing their memories (which often include their emotions, as well), they have captured the spirit and character of a time that will never be seen again. Unlike most history books, this one was written from the viewpoint of people who actually experienced what they wrote about. They’re familiar with the tribulations of the Great Depression; the horrible taste of castor oil; “outdoor” plumbing; party line phones; and countless other experiences unknown to today’s generation. The stories are written by everyday folks, not experienced authors. Our intention was by no means literary perfection. Most of these folks wrote the way they spoke, and that makes these stories even more personal and entertaining. To preserve story authenticity, we made only minimal changes to written contributions. We believe that an attempt at correction would damage the book’s integrity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
