Summary: Elegant stories and anecdotes of yesteryear.
Review: Thoughts Of A Boy Growing Up was written by Kenneth Nelson to be a surprise Christmas gift for his seven grandchildren. Nelson shares the story of his life including attending a mountain school, learning about birds and animals as a child, what it was like for him when his family moved to town, being a dairyman, attending Ray Union School, his brother leaving, and a great deal more. These are stories told with the simple candor of someone reflecting on their life experiences to the benefit and entertainment of others, so that they can get a sense of the people and events of a time now gone, but which served to create the man that yesteryear boy would grow up to be. Highly recommended.
