In a world that will never be again, there was a farmstead east of Carter, Oklahoma known as ""The Old Porter Place."" Two cousins, whose grandparents lived there, resurrect that world in stories from their childhood more than a half century ago. Trapping Grandma's chickens, bootleggin' whiskey, learning to chew tobacco, Indians who ate a boy's pet, Grandma's corn bread recipe, playing hooky from school, Nazis invading Oklahoma, and the enduring love of parents and family in rural Oklahoma are but a few of the topics addressed in more than 50 short tales by cousins, Jerry C. Brewer and Larry D. Davis, who grew up together in western Oklahoma. Told in the oral tradition of their mountain ancestors from Kentucky and West Virginia, and accompanied by historic family photos, their stories are delightfully brief, and entertaining. You'll delight in their true tales in The Old Porter Place that, like the ""land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields"" that once cradled it, is now ""gone with the wind.""
