Author John Edgar gives us stories of adventure, raising a child, deceit, tragedy, work, and grit that took place during and after the Great Depression. We can relate to stories like these now. Have you ever been in a wilderness of trees and lakes, where your hike home may take you a week to reach civilization? Have you ever been cheated out of a fortune? What would it be like to work alongside of one of the then modern Steam Locomotives? Should you punish your six-year-old for stealing 10 cents from your purse? See how Author Edgar's characters are no different from us today.
