Synopsis
"come with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, when out of Jackson, Michigan ......" How else should one introduce this book? It is thrilling. It is about yesteryear's days. It takes place mainly in Jackson, Michigan, and Dubuque, Iowa, and that city's environs along the upper Mississippi River. And it does beckon with the tempting promise that it will let you in, both accurately and somewhat humorously, on what it was like to be born in the late 18 hundreds and to grow up with the best of both centuries tucked under your growth lines. And what's worth the price of the whole the Uncle Rayner Stories at the end of the book. They put a hilarious cap on a marvelous book.
