Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real, Rural is a memoir about growing up in a rural area in the 1950s. This book examines the issues faced locally by young people living in or near a very small town in central Kansas, as well as national issues such as Civil Rights, nuclear concerns such as the Korean War and other issues. It compares rural life to urban living. Real, Rural examines the whole of the 1950s, not only from a rural point of view, but also from the perspective of anyone who grew up during that decade and who was concerned with national and international concerns and conflicts and how they affected that individual personally.
