Memories Of An American Life: True stories from the early 1900s of a large family in a small Indiana town (Hardcover)

Given that he was to become a student of human nature with an interest in writing, Julian K. Nail could not have grown up in a better place than St. Paul, Indiana. Born in 1923, the youngest of seven children, he was exposed to story lines even before he started working as a young boy in his father's dry goods store, which was something of a central marketplace for the greater St. Paul area. The stories chronicled here will no doubt be of particular interest to the Nail family and to St. Paul, but if you enjoy reading family-oriented, small town USA folklore, you'll be delighted by these rich stories and vignettes.
