This is a rather unique book. I am not sure if it is fact or fiction, however, it tells of the adventures some small town boys. The boys attend school, help their parents and also see the country by hitching rides on railroad trains and automobiles.

This “First Edition” book was published in 1989. This soft cover book measures 5 ¼ inches by 8 inches and contains 70 pages. The cover shows minor signs of wear and is securely attached. The pages show no signs of rips. The name of a previous owner has been marked out on the inside front cover. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this book is very good.

We had already learned we were traveling the L&N Line and I had determined the river we’d traveled along was the Lucking River, ‘cause I finally remembered the name when I studied the Kentucky map south from Cincinnati where we intended to head for first on our trip…
