About this Book: |
|
“And One More Thing...” offers a rare inside look at the everyday life of a very busy, south Georgia farm family in the 1930’s and 1940’s, and at Southern farming itself during that event-laden chapter of American history. The sixth of nine children born into this family, the author presents his lively and historically significant account in a clear, conversational style that beckons one to keep on reading.
