Lost America,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Home Country (Hardcover)
This is a collection of newspaper columns designed to be read over the breakfast table. However, thanks to the talent and compassion of the man writing them, Ernie Pyle, they give a great picture of an America that no longer exists. These are stories of great people (a lunch with Walt Disney circa 1935) and everyday people (the woman who was on her way to commit suicide and ended up becpming a trapper in Alaska), and people you never heard of, but through them all Pyle's empathy makes these folks come alive. Non-judgemental and accepting, yet always looking for the unusual, Pyle honed his craft with these character studies and unknowingly prepared himself for being embedded with US troops in WWII.
