Chronicles of the Downtrodden

By: Pennington, Ken

For a young man born into a hard-scrabble family deep in the mountains of Depression-era Georgia, education is not a process that takes place in a classroom. It happens in his beloved woods and streams, through varied experiences with his neighbors-some friendly and some not-in new encounters with very different places and people, and through the lessons of sadness and heartbreak. Gifted with an overwhelming thirst for adventure, our hero is willing to take on great challenges and through them, he learns important skills such as the value of work, of loyalty, of family and love. The story of his journey from boyhood to manhood is fraught with both joy and tragedy and provides a compelling picture of the era and its people. The tale of his learning and growing is one well worth sharing.
