Book Description:
In this light, uplifting collection of memories, Bill Powell revisits the life of a child growing up in Sevier County, Tennessee, in the 1930s and 1940s. It was a slower paced simpler life in the days before television, electricity, McDonald s, jet planes, supermarkets or street drugs. Unexpected encounters with snakes, playing on a hillside grapevine swing, practicing with a slingshot, and wandering through woodlands were about as exciting as things got. Hard times forced children to devise their own playthings from materials on hand. Fixing a flat bicycle tube or whittling out an airplane from a piece of soft wood was a challenge. Nevertheless, children survived, and were stronger for it. Organized into brief sections, Snakes, Grapevine Swings and Slingshots offers the reader many vivid contemporary 'snapshots' from 1930s and 1940s Tennessee.
