[S.l. : Texian Press, 1987. 185 p : illus. A Texas story of two little brothers in The Great Depression. The book contains illustrated maps of Texas and Menard County 1936. The author states in his foreword: "Those old days of The Great Depression, the 1930s, were very severe, but in essence, it was a 'good', but scary, time to be alive. Our world was different then; a slower, safer, more civilized world . . . it molded and developed the character of rugged, hardy, reliable, no-nonsense individuals . . . I offer my story in order to share a brief glimpse of early Texas and its people, and the show how one country family near a small Texas town struggled to survive, not only the depression . . . and see how three little brothers spent a part of their youth, and then entered into manhood better prepared because of it." A few comments on the back cover, "At last! A book I can read to my children." "Wonderful, precious, profound, entertaining and educational . . . I loved all the story." A great read!. 20000801.
