Hometown Mentors published this unique autobiography, written by a 17 year old high school boy, in 1949.  That boy is now eighty-nine years old and he's not so sure that the first 17 years are the hardest.

His innocent words, written to fulfil an English assignment, have turned into a small unique piece of Americana. The essay documents his life from birth in 1932 to his last year in high school.  

This is so unique, you are able to read it one setting, but then you will pick it up again and again.  You'll want to read it with your family to tell them what life in the 1930's and 1940's was actually like to live.
