Part of that, of course, could be attributed to his being a die-hard fan of the best baseball team in the world, the New York Yankees. He was a War Baby, born in the Bronx during the First World War. He spent his childhood in the Bronx and Corona during the Roaring Twenties, and began to mature in Corona and Manhattan during the Great Depression. Like so many of his generation, the Second World War finished the maturing process, and put a fine polish on the person he had become. His memories provide a rich historical background to life in the 20th century, and especially of New York City in the early twentieth century. Here then are his adventures, in the Big Apple, and amongst the Border States.
About the Editor: Gene Baumgaertner has published 8 other books with Trafford, two history books and six novels, including two fictionalized, semi-biographical works about the Baby Boomer Generation.view less
