Reviews for Things You Need to Hear: Collected Memories of Growing Up in Arkansas, 1890 1980
Margaret Bolsterli has provided not only the informants' stories but also a manner to convey them as an historical aggregate, combining the personal and historical in such a way that neither is diminished. A fine accomplishment and an entertaining read.
