What Makes a Boy a Man. . . This is the story of Lon, a kid that was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1895, grew up in Tottenville, Staten Island-one of the boroughs of New York-and returned to Brooklyn where he spotted Mildred, a beautiful young woman with Auburn hair at a Charity Ball and was smitten. It tells the amusing events of a self-driven boy who loves the challenges of life and participates fully. He Joins the 1st Calvary of New York during WW1, breaks horses and becomes a Trick rider. Goes on to create the STANDARD LIBRARY of New York that has salesmen bringing books to Manhattan office employees to read for 25 cents a week. Lon becomes the father of three boys and three girls and shares the duties with Mildred, his Auburn hair bride. After WWII, with kids in the WAVES and attached to the Air Force, Lon and Mildred follow them to California. Here he starts a new career, finds new friends and lots of grandkids.
