The Lane Once Traveled

By Mr Donald R Delauter

This book is a boyhood memoir of a country boy who was born in the middle of the great depression and grew up in a large, poor family during and after World War II. It reflects a way of life that most young people today would have trouble understanding, much less living. It is an up-by-the-bootstraps story of a family that -- through a high level of self-sufficiency and dedication -- pulled themselves out of poverty to become a group of good, successful citizens of whatever community they chose to live in. It is the story of a way of live that has essentially disappeared. The book talks about school, church, work, play, provision and preparation of country food, and perhaps more importantly, it covers the war years that affected the family, all of the sons of which served their country in the military forces. This is a colorful tale of how things were not so very long ago.
