Sobre IBD

Son of a Sharecropper tells of the flu epidemic of 1918, World War I, the Depression, and the Dust Bowl. Subject matter ranges from old-time doctoring, one-room schoolhouses, and old-time religion to moonshinin, ’ridin’ the rails, and hard times. A thread running through the book is the desire of a sharecropper’s boy to own his own land. Every chapter is filled with wry humor; tragedy and triumph are handled with an even hand.
