Book Review: Tales Of A Texas Boy
Summary: 5 Stars
From My personal blog;
As some of you know, I am a reader. Actually all of us are readers here and we have a liking for different stuff. Time of course for some of us is a little hard to find, such as the Mr. and his work schedule.
Though I have time. Lately I have had a couple books sent to me by mail. Getting around to reading depends on how I feel. If my migraine is acting up there is no way I can sit down to read a book, or of course when chores come up or what not....
Today I sat down to read one of these books. Like the post says this book is called Tales Of A Texas Boy.
This book is a collection of short stories. Just part of the life and times of the authors father told in the unique way only Marva Dasef can.
This book takes us back in time to the depression, to World War 1, to a harder but a unforgettable time in American History. It tells of the turn of the century vehicles where one had to hand crank it to get it going, to riding horses to school everyday.
This is very much my style of a read! Cowboys and horses, tales of the Great Depression from someone who was there! Tales of the turn of the century when a mans word was like gold.
I love history, I love real history, I love western history, and I really enjoyed this book!
Summary of Tales of a Texas Boy - Large Print
How do you handle a crazy jackass? Eddie knows. If you ask Eddie, he'll tell you pigs can fly and show you where to find real mammoth bones. Take his word for it when he tells you always to bet on the bear. These are things he learned while dreaming of becoming a cowboy in West Texas during the Depression. Through Eddie, the hero of "Tales of a Texas Boy," we find that growing up is less about maturity and more about roping your dreams. Hold on tight. It's a bumpy ride. A wonderful read for anyone who enjoys books like "Little House on the Prairie" or "Tom Sawyer." A great bit of nostalgia for seniors, too.Large Print Edition available at amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1438235453/
