When I Was Just Your Age


When I Was Just Your Age

Written by: Robert Flynn
Edited by: Susan Russell

"As they reminisce about their childhood, thirteen interviewees chronicle life in Texas and other parts of the West during the early part of the twentieth century. This collection of oral histories is intimate, authentic, and filled with arresting details...As a child Mary Chism saw how a tornado ‘blowed a (400 pound) sow on up a tree and scalded the hair off her.’.. this marvelous book concludes with valuable activities for young historians who wish to collect the living memories that surround them."
