Doug Hoffman –
This book by the late Clair J. Hoffman captures some of the humor and magic of his tales about growing up in Pennsylvania coal country during the 1930s and 40s. It is a personal remembrance of a time we will never see again, before cellphones, iPads and cable TV when kids had to make their own fun. If you are interested how your parents or grandparents might have grown up you should read this heart warming book.

I really enjoyed the insights of normal life growing up in a very small time during that period, when kids could play and people appreciated hard work.
Martha Wright –
Not at all what I was expecting. I only got through about 10% of it and nothing had anything to do with small town coal mining, which is what I was expecting and looking forward to. Disappointed.
