I have read this book and found it to be a down to earth account of growing up in small town America. The author's truth and honesty come out in each story. As a product of small town America I highly recommend this book. I hope he writes another.
prairie memories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is a must for anyone who was born or raised in the rural areas of north central united states. It was well written and somehow seems to remind us all of our youth and the memories that go along with our childhood. It has many funny and serious moments. It was great reading and hard to put down, once one started on it. Hopefully the author will followup on with another book that is as good or better.
The good life!

I loved it! I grew up in small town South Dakota as well and could relate to all his stories about blizzards, hunting, car racing and unique people. There was humor, sadness, joy and sorrow in his book and it touched on all my emotions. I would recommend this book for anyone in the baby boomer generation who grew up in the midwest or would like a personal perspective of life in small town America in the 50's and 60's.

Having reviewed many books in my time,and being a native of South Dakota all my life, I found it to be a very true and heartwarming book. Prairie Vignettes brings back many memories of good old South Dakota. I strongly recommend this book to readers everywhere.

This book touched my heart and gives a realistic view of life in small town America. I recommend it for anyone who is nostalgic about the 50s and 60s. The author's straight forward style is heartwarming. This book would make a great Christmas gift for anyone with small town roots (or for anyone approaching mid-life)
