What Boys Will Do: A Memoir

By Curtis Trapp

Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929 was the beginning of the Great Depression. But earlier in the same year, on February 24, 1929, Curtis Trapp had been born in rural Jennings Co., Indiana. Through out the 1930's the Trapp family farmed their lands and lived a simple life. They were not rich nor were they poor, but what was it like back then? On the farm there was no electricity, no radio, TV, Internet, Wi-Fi, no A/C, no refrigerators...what did people do? How did they live? Come along with Curtis Trapp as he remembers his life as a child during this very troubled time in American history. Run along with Curtis and his two cousins, Jack and Joe, as they hit the old swimming hole, and find out what happened to that old mean bull. Sneak along at dawn as Curtis and Sport, his dog, go squirrel hunting. Learn what it was like to create your very own cave. And walk along with Curtis as he makes his way home, in the dark, on an old dusty, with something following him... Curtis Trapp was a storyteller. His vivid memories of his childhood and life were the source of many evenings of laughter. And now, even though he is no longer with us, his stories can continue to bring us a glimpse of a simpler life and always a laugh or two.
