Adventures in the Big Woods Barnie Slice

This book is the story of three boys who lived in the late fifties and how

they lived without electronic gadgets of any kind. They came from low

income families. Television had just hit the market in black and white

form and that was all they had. They built their own toys and made up

their own games because money was scarce but they never felt they

were poor. Their playground was The Big Woods as they called it along

the banks of the Broad River where they found many adventures in the

summer of '53.
