Synopsis

Told partly in his own words, this is the interesting, bittersweet story of Arthur Babb, an extraordinary ordinary man, who was born on the Texas frontier, grew up during the golden age of railroading, and then, despite a lack of formal education, became an architect and building contractor before taking up bookbinding as a trade and art as a hobby in his old age, during which time he wrote his memoirs in a conversational, folksy style, along with essays on topics that interested him. A must read for anyone interested in the history of post-Civil War and early twentieth century Texas or anyone simply looking for a heart-warming and occasionally tragic story of a man and his family struggling, often against the odds, to find a modicum of happiness in this world.
