They were part of the Baby Boomer vanguard, three boys are thrown together in a 1950s Southern California subdivision looking like most other kids of that era. Under coonskin hats, they soldiered through school, battles with bullies, and the looming shadow of communism. But their greatest enemy was a disease called polio. At its worst, it was intensely ugly, excruciatingly painful, and deadly.

This book will take you back to the halcyon days of orange grove forts, fast bikes, white T-shirts and blue jeans with turned up cuffs, and the early sounds of rock-n-roll blasting through the windows of the enlightened. It will bring you face to face with characters you might have known, and some you wish you’d never met.

The Coonskin Kids: Davy Crockett, Rockn'Roll and the Devil’s Disease is a great adventure not only for every Boomer, but for everyone who’s still a kid at heart.
