Summary:

1918. A turbulent time. World War I raged, calling the men to war. Diseases such as smallpox, measles and Spanish Flu ravaged communities. Technological development was marching ahead, changing a rural life on the prairie... Ford cars appeared on the roads, airplanes appeared in the sky and movies appeared in the theaters. Read along as Leona Narron and five other small town Warrensburg, Missouri, women tell their stories of survival and celebration in these exciting times through a diary and letters written to Leona's husband, Carl Baker, serving in the war. Filled with humor and countless tidbits of life that have been long forgotten, this book is a useful tool for genealogists, historians, and writers as well as a pleasurable read. --Amazon.
