Drifting Years

By Keith Churchill

This is the work of my dad Keith Churchill. It is a partial autobiography of his life when he left the farm in Indiana as a young boy during the Great Depression of the 1930's and takes you on a journey he made to the West. He sprinkles his experiences with tidbits of historical significance, and vividly describes the scenic landscape, while introducing you to the sights, sounds, smells, taste, and touch of his surroundings and the many people he encountered. His shares with you picking cotton and dates, working long hours as a lettuce tramp, driving a truck, attending welding school, dodging bullets from Sheriff's deputies, dust bowl migrants, gangsters of the time, rodeos, Indians, various other ethnic people, hobos, prostitutes, parades, poker and dice games, pickpockets, seamen, and side trips to Mexico. It also includes a collection of his poems, many of which reflect back to events and people found in his Drifting Years.
