Boomtown life March 30, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. The author, born in 1916, relates the story of her growing up in various oil "tent towns" starting in 1921 when she was only five years old. My grandad was an oil field worker in Texas at about the same time, and I had always been curious as to what life was like back then. I'm indebted to the author for writing her story. Anyone interested in life in the early oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma (and boy, but that life was tough), or anyone interested in small town Texas life in the mid-1920's should enjoy this story. It may not sound like an exciting "page-turner", but I couldn't put it down, and finished it over a weekend. There is an abundance of old black and white photographs of the various individuals and places mentioned in the book. And the pages of the book itself are really nice, thick paper.
