Customer Reviews

NOT what I expected.

Memories

This book is beautiful. The art work and the essays with each one carry the reader back to how it was. Very nostalgic. Appeals to older readers as well as young.

Sams knew his subject

Ferrol Sams wrote several books about growing up in Georgia early in the last century, a period I have been interested in. If that is something you like, you will like this book and his others also. Good adventure and good life stories from the not so distant past.

Anything by Ferrol Sams is great!

Want a true picture of life in the rural Georgia of early 20th century? Want a true picture of life for a physician in contemporary Georgia? Want a true picture of life as a WWII medic? Want to enjoy some gorgeous prose? Read Ferrol Sams. He is one of the most underrated writers of our time.
