This book is a collection of thirteen exaggerated stories concerning the writer's experiences growing up in a small unnamed town in the Palouse country of eastern Washington state in the early 1930s and 1940s. Chapters 3,4,9 and 10 contain portions that are simply'made up' situations purely from the writer's imagination. This series of stories is an example of creative nonfiction and all of them are based on actual events from the writer's childhood and early adulthood. The names of some places and people have been changed to protect the innocen and the guilty. Some of the characters are composites of country people the writer has known and some of the incidents also are fabrications built upon half-truths. Thus, this book is a collection of tall tales, a confession, some autobiography, and incomplete history of a town of 600 inhabitants, a family, a region, and an era. 3

    Robert Easton
    This book is divided into two parts, Fiction and Memoirs, but the sections do overlap. I have learned that a small memory or experience is not a story but merely a Vignette. However, that Vignette can turn into a story with the help of some imagination. Therefore, all of these short pieces needed some sort of  'trigger' to bring them to completion.Some of them are based on earl...
