Synopsis

This book provides an account of events in the author's life in the 1920's and 30's up to the early 40's. Older persons will find much that is familiar--references to cartoon strips, radio programs, and Shirley Temple movies. Younger persons may find out what it was like to live on two remote Indian Reservations; go to County Schools which accommodated four distinct classes in a single room; participate in spelling bees, declamatory contests, and recess games; swim naked in the local creek; butcher frogs, kill rattlesnakes; observe the effects of firewater and peyote on resident Indians; and in general find ways to entertain oneself before the age of television and the computer.
