Have you ever had to plant explosives to mine your own coal to heat
your house? Climb up some posts to keep your neighborhood's phone
lines up and running? How about dig your own well or cut ice out of
a river to cool your food? Kill, skin, dry, and can animals to feed
your family? You never know. In a post-apocalyptic world like the
one in the HUNGER GAMES (or the one we may face in the future) this
is information you might want to know. Believe it or not, there are
people living in the modern world today who do know how to do these
things. Ray Schmidt is one of them. While growing up on a farm in
western North Dakota, Schmidt experienced the hardships of the
Great Depression firsthand. Like his parents, he became a farmer.
Then in the 1960s, he took a chance on the next big thing: fast
food. FROM THE FARM TO FAST FOOD: MY ADVENTURES DURING THE GREAT
DEPRESSION AND BEYOND is a compilation of stories about the funny
and fascinating events Schmidt experienced. Like no history book
could do, it explains in a humorous and lively way how people
really lived. The following are what readers' are saying about the
book: "From the Farm to Fast Food is one of a kind."- Debbie S.
"This book should be required reading in every school." - Robert M.
"Ray Schmidt really knows how to tell a good story. That's a lost
art." -Kathi D.
