    About this ebook

    This book includes five independent accounts of what it was like to grow up as a child in Valley County Idaho in early years. One account (Sayre) is from the early settlement period in 1904. The other four accounts are of childhood during the Great Depression years (1929-1941). This latter group also represents life in rural areas and small towns across the United States during this critical period of U.S. history. Each account provides a very personal insight into the many facets of childhood at that time (as contrasted with contemporary children in America). Accounts range from lyrical and haunting (Sayre), to the memorable events of boyhood in a time when a child was free to explore without constant adult supervision.

    Wesley W Craig

    I am a retired (87 yrs. old) former Professor of Sociology and Social Work (North Carolina State University and Brigham Young University. Also, had a twenty-five year second career as a Clinical Social Worker (Licensed in Utah as a Marriage and Family Therapist and as a Clinical Social Worker). I spent twelve years (total) living outside of the U.S. in the countries of Mexico, Uruguay, Guatemala, Peru, Venezuela and Spain. Ten of those years with my family (wife and various of our six children). My academic degrees were earned at Brigham Young University (B.A.), University of Utah (M.S.W.) and Cornell University (Ph.D.). In my younger years I served four and a half years in the U.S. Armed Forces (U.S. Navy during WWII and U.S. Coast Guard during Korean War). My clinical work was primarily with women abused as children and with adolescent treatment programs (primarily in a wilderness setting), from which I retired four years ago.
