Customer Reviews

Very humorous biography about teenage boys in the 50s.

Jackpine Savages is a very humorous biography about the life of teenage boys in the 1950s. It will bring back memories for men especially who were growing up in the 50s in a small town or rural area, this taking place in northern Wisconsin. The writing consists of chapters focused on topics of interest including school, sports, getting a job, and skinnydipping in the north woods. Interspersed in the humor are some valuable life lessons which adults can appreciate and from which youth can benefit. Because many of today's teenagers are interested in life in the 50's, they should especially enjoy this 170 page book.
