Lone Tree: Wisdom - Humor - the Great Depression Robert W. Lamb

....... Growing up during the Great Depression on a small farm in southern Indiana provided the inspiration and background for this book. The quest for dignity and joy by the people of Lone Tree revealed wisdom and humor that might have gone untapped during less trying times. The reader is given a rare peek inside the everyday lives of the colorful characters of Lone Tree as they make their remarkable journey through a time when survival was a fulltime job and rewards were subtle. The priceless gems born of this harsh era are preserved in the pages of Lone Tree, a collection of fifty-six short stories.
