Spanning more than a century, Mr. Lincourt's autobiography provides a fascinating glimpse of what life was like for ordinary Americans during the remarkable transformations of the 19th century. His generation experienced the Great Depression, World War II, the advent of commercial aviation, the miracle of television, and the birth of the computer. How did they survive without welfare, unemployment insurance, and many of the social safeguards we take for granted today? What were their schools like? How did they entertain themselves before the Internet, television, and other home electronics? This remarkable story gives you a first-hand account of what it was really like.
