Addressed to the grown-up reader as you, these sketches recall a small-town American boyhood in the late nineteenth century. There is the match game the North Stars lost fifty to thirty-one, school and chums, the circus, running away, going fishing and swimming, the Sunday-school picnic, the old muzzle-loader, a boy’s first loves and the long summer noons.
Affectionate, funny reminiscence for anyone who remembers or imagines a barefoot boyhood. Download the free EPUB.
