Some time ago, I read My Brother's Keeper: Virginia's Diary, by Mary Pope Osborne, and The Journal of C.J. Jackson: a Dust Bowl Migrant by William Durbin, and found them excellent. They are part of the My America and My Name is America series, a series of books about, and for young teens. Based on the two I read, the books are fictitious diaries about various troubled times in our history, from the viewpoints of various types of young people. I found them to be good reading, and, as far as I can tell, they are true to the facts. The Dust Bowl volume includes photos, and a map of the Southwest, featuring US highway 66.
Thanks for reading.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because is public domain. I am grateful.
