One from the Least and Disappearing Generation
A Memoir of a Depression Era Kid.
By Clarence G. Oliver, Jr.
"Brought up to value family and friends, Oliver wanted to leave an understanding of the past, and of family history, for present and future generations. The result is an important book, in part because it preserves an era fewer and fewer people remember..." — Lucienda Denson, Lifestyle Editor, Broken Arrow Daily Ledger |
One from the Least and Disappearing Generation, is a true story of a boy born just months before the "Crash of 1929." Young Oliver "hawked" newspapers as a seven-year old, learned important life skills, and became "the eyes" for a loving, blind grandfather who taught the young man how to "see with the mind's eye."
"To the delight of friends and family, Oliver revisited skills honed as a former journalist . . . and has written a highly personal book, a memoir of his years growing up as an Oklahoma depression-era kid. The title comes from the fact that his generation came from a period when America’s population grew the least. The book is written in brief vignettes . . . in which he gives details of the life he knew, tempered with a child’s memory and interpretation of what it meant." — Judy Randle, Book Editor, Tulsa World
