Publisher's Synopsis
Spanning nearly a full century, the autobiography of Verlyn V. Hofer is a slice of pure Americana. Born into a newspaper family in 1925 in Davis, SD, Hofer's life story provides an intriguing look into the running of a small-town newspaper through several generations. As much a record of the author's life, this tale is a record of small town American life from the 1920s to the present. The events that shaped one man's life are chronicled with honesty, humor, and plain-spokenness. From war buddies to weddings, tornados to tricycles, car wrecks to church, newspapers to Nazis - the places, affairs, and people that form the fabric of this saga are not lacking in variety or excitement. In the same style as his memoir, A Wartime Odyssey, Hofer paints a one-of-a-kind picture of his life and times that will both enlighten and entertain.
