A Must Read If You've Ever Lived In Freeport, Illinois

Ophelia Marie Horton's book is a vibrant account of what it was like to grow up as an African-American child in Freeport, Illinois in the 1940s and 1950s. She brings her neighborhood to life and depicts a childhood unfortunately few in Freeport at that time could have imagined. She also provides a lot of information about the Illinois Central Railroad in Freeport that really isn't covered anywhere else.
