Synopsis

A BOYHOOD MEMOIR Here is what an old-fashioned boyhood looked like in a time before television, computers, cell phones and video games. It is the homespun story of Granville, a small but scrappy "Everykid" whose childhood growing up in Frederick, Maryland spanned the years of the Great Depression and the World War II homefront. To Granville, every day was an adventure--whether it was spent: Visiting his father's grain mill or helping out on a dairy farm, roaming around downtown Frederick or roving along the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, swimming and fishing in the Monocacy River or rambling through the Catoctin Mountain woods, or just living daily life in his 1930s-era home and neighborhood on Market Street. Recounted in rich detail and told with humor and heart, here is a nostalgic look at Vintage Frederick "back when there were more cows than people." **All profits from the sale of this book go to Frederick charities**
