Memories Of Spearsville: A Compilation of Childhood Memories And Stories Handed Down Through The Generations - Paperback

Hunting excursions with ole Tige. Working hard on the farm. Playing baseball, America's pastime. Swimming in Corney Bayou. Killing snakes by the dozen. These, and many more stories are touched upon by author Jeff Smith in his third novel, "Memories of Spearsville." Written in the tradition of Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" series of books, Jeff recalls fond memories from the 1970's during regular visits to his grandparents' home in Spearsville, Louisiana, as well as stories told to him by his father, uncles, and grandparents about growing up in northern Louisiana in Union Parish in the 1940's and 1950's. There was no time to be a couch potato in those days. If you didn't work, you didn't eat. Turn back the clock and take a look at yesteryear in Spearsville, Louisiana.
