Chances are you never traveled through Spring Creek during the thirties, because not many people did. When Turkeys Talked and Politicians Were People, written by John Donaldson, is the author's upbeat, whimsical reminiscence of adolescent life in rural Pennsylvania during the depression. His father, LR, was a Republican who owned the general store, while his mother was a pro-Roosevelt Democrat who served as a deacon in the Congregational church. Despite poverty and passionate political squabbles, we know the country survived. And in ironic hindsight, the one thing that all friends, relatives, and neighbors would have agreed upon is that -back then-they never realized that they were supposed to have been depressed. Well-written, this book offers a delightful romp through the era of muddled innocence and great hardship.
