In this memoir, Catton remembers his youth, his family, his home town, and his coming of age.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With nostalgia, warmth, and humor, Catton recalls it all with a wealth of detail: the logging industry and its tremendous effect on the face of the state, the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic who first sparked his interest in the Civil War, the overnight train trips on long-gone \"sleepers,\" the days of great resort hotels, and fishing in once clear lakes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Although he writes of a time and place that are no more, his observations have implications that both underline the past and touch the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Wayne State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Waiting for the Morning Train: An American Boyhood | Bruce Catton | Paperback | 9780814318850 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1748876","offer_id":48856523997336,"sku":"1748876","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61HJHcBsjeS.jpg?v=1775585080","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/waiting-for-the-morning-train-an-american-boyhood","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
