Early Years

The rural south has changed dramatically in the past 70 years. This book written by Tom Boyd encompasses the years as he remembers them from 1941 to 1956. Although the book speaks a lot about the hardships at that time, it also conveys the message that times were simpler and although there was poverty as it is known today, it wasn’t accepted as such then, simply it was the way things were. It was a period in history that covered some momentous events, and the book attempts to view them from the perspective of a young man growing up in those times.
