Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2021 Vivid descriptions of the folks who lived there and the treasured memories from the wholesome experiences of a pre-teen boy from Kentucky, in the 1950's. A "good read." DESCRIPTION The magic of Wallins Creek, a small town nestled in the mountains of Southeast Kentucky, is that it becomes an integral part of us. The cool water streams down from our majestic mountains into a creek that travels through our little town and mysteriously works its way into our DNA. This incredible "state of mind" passes down from one generation to the next. It transforms us all into Creekers. Some stay and others scatter across America. We all come back often to commune with the streams, the mountains, and our people. This, along with the values and principles learned in Wallins Creek makes us all uniquely, American Creekers. This book chronicles the first 13 years of my life growing up in Wallins Creek and the impacts it has 66 years later. Roger and I give you stories and information from fellow Creekers to give you glimpses of life in a small American town in the 1950's that exemplifies the tough, ingenious, honor, family, independence, strength and pure goodness of mountain people.
