Another Lynchburger,
By "gilesmb" (Blacksburg, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back Then--Those Were the Days: Recollections of a Boy Growing Up During the Depression (Paperback)
Charming book. I was born and grew up in Lynchburg and was delighted to have memories of "those days" renewed. Even though the book would be of special delight to people who know Lynchburg, there is a universality to the experiences Dr. Hook reports that should be of interest to almost everybody who has an imagination and is over 12 years of age.

A Lynchburger's Appreciation,
By
This review is from: Back Then--Those Were the Days: Recollections of a Boy Growing Up During the Depression (Paperback)
This was a great opportunity for reveries for an old Lynchburg emigrZ. I left the town many years ago, but this book helped me reminisce about old times in the 30s and 40s, and has references to many friends, places, and events of great interest to me. Thanks, Dr. Hook, for taking the time and chronicling your life in those times in a way that let me relate my own while reading the book.
