The Way I Remember It: Tales from a Port St. Joe Childhood & Beyond

By H. Higdon Swatts

Higdon Swatts is a lover of local history, and the short stories that fill these pages are drawn from personal experiences as he came of age in the small coastal town of Port St. Joe, Florida. Recalled only from memory, these tales are based on actual events (although time may have reimagined an odd detail or two). The result is a collection of endearing snapshots full of humor, heart, the human experience and life lessons learned. These are stories - some stretching back more than 70 years - that we can all relate to, especially those of us with fond memories of our own childhood. A firm believer in the importance of documenting local lore for the benefit of family, friends and acquaintances, the author hopes this book will inspire you to reflect on your own life and share what you remember.
