ABOUT THE BOOK: A childhood on the Kansas prairies in the 1930s springs vividly to life in the detailed memories of Gail Martin. Her simple accounts of long ago school days, celebrations and family life are a treasure. Travel back in time to life in the Flint Hills during the Great Depression, and the time leading up to World War II. The memories include her father's work in the oil field, trips to town in the family's Model A, raising a pet badger, fishing on the Cottonwood River and wearing dresses made from feed sack material. The book also explores her family's role in early Kansas history with details of covered wagons, homesteading, the Civil War and fledgling industries. Follow the Tower, Vining and McGhee family from Tyro to Teterville to Eureka.
