"Democrat Ridge" provides an intimate view into small town life in
Missouri in the 1940's. The beautifully detailed true stories give
testament to the integrity, resilience, self-sufficiency and humor
of the residents of Democrat Ridge.
"Loaded with stories gleaned from a boyhood of experiences in
the rural Ozarks, "Democrat Ridge" not only entertains, but
teaches. Dean Wilson's stories describe events that have sufficient
impact to become lifetime memories, and that have the substance to
mold lifetime values.
These stories cover life events from early childhood, through
school days, and into the years of courtship. They paint a sharp
contrast between a boy's self-invented, carefree recreation in the
1940s to today's closely supervised, more politically correct fun.
One story even describes what can happen when a mischievous local
girl stumbles onto a pond full of boys "skinny dippin'" and seining
for catfish.
Dean Wilson is truly an outstanding storyteller. His ability to
combine a closeness with people to a closeness with nature is
meaningfully illustrated in "Democrat Ridge.""--Daniel E. Hatch,
