GENRE: BIOGRAPHY/AUTOBIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR

The book documents one family’s transition from about 1938 to about 1967. The farm grew from 320 acres to more than one thousand acres with corn yields more than quadrupling in that period in some fields. It documents a community barn dance during one winter’s blizzard and attending a one room country schoolhouse with twenty-five students in the entire school. Later, during school consolidation, the country school was transferred to the local town school where each class had twenty-five students. We had access to school buses and a hot lunch program.
