"In this book of memories and reflections, Tom Brokaw writes of growing up in the American heartland, and of the people, the culture, and the values that shaped him in his youth and still do today. "Along the river and in the surrounding hills, I had a Tom Sawyer boyhood," Brokaw says; and as he describes his childhood and youth in South Dakota from 1940 to 1960, and his parents' early lives during the twenties and thirties, Brokaw also reflects on the American experience, as he has lived and observed it, during the central decades of the twentieth century." "As he describes his pilgrimage, Brokaw also reflects on what brought him and so many Americans to lead lives a long way from home, yet forever affected by it."--BOOK JACKET.
