Synopsis

Local author Bob Edmonds, recipient of the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian award, for publishing local history has released his twelfth and latest book, Growing Up Southern: A Memoir after three years in the making. His latest book is a recollection of what it was like to grow up in the grueling times during and just after The Great Depression. This Generation has been described as the era “that endured so much, won so much, preserved so much, built so much, gave so much and yet asked for so little.” The memoir takes readers back to the era when almost all of the homes lacked both electricity and running water. Men tilled the fields with mule-drawn plows. Women cooked over wood-burning stoves, washed clothes by hand, and joined the men in the fields during the busy seasons. Families salted meat for winter storage, counted fish caught or game hunted part of their dietary staples, and often substituted a fall hog slaughter for Thanksgiving celebrations. Radio, power by batteries, offered glimpses of the modern world outside.
