The author was a first generation Irish who writes of his family and his upbringing on a farmstead at the Arkansas River and South Hydraulic Street in Wichita Kansas where he was born in 1885. His father, Florence or Big Flurry, was from Ireland, married a girl from New York and moved to Wichita to become a farmer, a profession he was not good at. The author tells of family life, his upbringing, the problems of being Irish and Catholic in Kansas, and of a multitude of family problems both farming and marital. The author went on to graduate from Friends University, was the editor of the Wichita Eagle in 1912, and later moved to New York where he was a successful journalist and columnist.
