Charlie’s Girl: Growing up on a Small Nebraska Farm in the ‘40s and '50s

Charlie’s Girl is a glimpse at life in a Midwest farm community in the memorable ‘40s and the wonder years of the '50s. It is filled with boundless memories, stories, and vintage photos about growing up on a small farm with four brothers, three sisters, and hardworking parents. Life was simpler, kids had fewer rules, played outside, and had adventures with family and friends. There are tales about helping with farm crops, adventures with all the animals on the farm, comical encounters with chickens, attending a one-room country school, shopping at local stores and happenings in the rural town of Cambridge, the arrival of TV on the farm, and being a teen-ager in the '50s.It is an appealing look back at a childhood that was both unlike and similar in ways to a childhood of today. It was a fantastic time to be young.
