In 1929, a boy was born whose family would soon feel some of the
calamitous problems incurred by the Great Depression, which began
soon after the boy's birth. Responding to little more than the
primitive instinct of survival required during these times, this is
a story relating this boy's reminiscence of this period. His story
is followed through the years of the depression and into his later
boyhood, and is a narrative of his and his family's survival and
resilience, causing the family of ten children the hardship of
moving from place to place numerous times, twenty-four, seeking
work where it was most available for the head of the family, whose
occupation was a sign painter. It is a true story, inherent of the
boy's experiences, reminisced in a manner that brings the reader in
close proximity to the books main characters. However, intertwined
between hardships of the bad times of the depression, the boy was
able to bring out uplifting humor during his years relating to the
story, years up to his nineteenth birthday, when he joined the U.
S. Navy and ventured into years then nearly devoid of the
depression
