Review
"An affectionate and nostalgic memoir." -- Ohio History
"Winner of the 2001 Ohioana Book for nonfiction." --
"This memoir is an important reminder that urban life is not the only life: it reveals, for instance, that for people living close to their needs and far from the command-posts of the cash economy, a thing like the Great Depression could be largely irrelevant. Frank Mathias respectfully renders small-town history as a worthy piece of something larger: ourselves. America." -- "Barbara Kingsolver"
"A trip down memory lane. Filled with amusing and often poignant stories, it presents a picture of a kinder, less sophisticated, more moral society." -- "Bowling Green Daily News"
"Nowhere is what we've lost more poignantly apparent.... An insightful travelogue in time as well as place." -- "Cleveland Plain Dealer"
"Vividly recaptures the sights, sounds, smells, and very texture of small-town and rural life in the interwar years." -- "Journal of Southern History"
"A well-received collection of memoirs about what is being called the Greatest Generation." -- "Kettering-Oakwood (OH) Times"
"Vivid and accurate, poignant and funny, this is a marvelous picture of pre-war life whose readability is enhanced by its insights into what makes the American character." -- "Library Journal"
"An insightful look at what the 'Greatest Generation' was like before they fought and won the war." -- "Maysville Ledger-Independent"
"A memoir about the wondrous variety of daily life, even during the Depression years, that shaped the men and women of the era." -- "McCormick (SC) Messenger"
