Popcorn in a Pillowcase details the life of a youngster born in 1929, just three months before Black Tuesday in late October. Our grandparents were the last of the pioneers who came to claim homestead land in Montana. This book describes the day-to-day concerns and adventures of the author and his family through the decade of the '30s. Hard times affected everyone and forced many adaptations in everyday life. One of these adaptations is the source of the title of the book. Some of the chapters describe a typical rural school, how people raised crops and animals, winters that were particularly harsh and social activities. It was a time when children were raised with less sensitivity and feelings of neighbors were of less importance than now. Montana was the edge of the Frontier. This is where those who didn't 'fit in' with each other came to live. That may be where the saying, Rough around the edges, came from. Neighbors did watch to make sure everyone had enough to eat and were warm in cold weather.
