3671. Pure Nostalgia: Memories of Early Iowa, edited by Carl Hamilton (read 28 Dec 2002) I read this mainly because I was so enamored of a book by Carl Hamilton (In No Time At All, which I read 31 Dec 1980). But his presence in this book is minimal. It contains eight accounts of life in Iowa in the past, most pretty direful. For instance, there is a diary-like account of the winter of 1936, which even to me (I was in second grade) stands memorably in my consciousness. This is a good book, telling of interesting things.
