Hailed by Robert F. Kennedy as a 'Contribution to American Folk Literature', Gladys Washer's 'Sketches of My Childhood to My Grandchildren' takes you into the simple childhood of a young girl during the late 1800's. With the American Kentucky South as a backdrop, these 'Sketches' rich and warm in detail invite the reader inside to what it was like living in a family with over 10 children and growing up on a hundred acre farm. How was it to survive only by the land around you, be educated in a one room school house and see a train for the first time? Learn about her encounter with the infamous American outlaw Jesse James and her family's passion to help raise an orphaned African American boy as their own. Her 'Sketches' are her true story and help remind us of what America was built upon...a classic treasure for children to learn how it was 'back in the days'.
