WE GREW UP IN AMERICA

Twenty-four well known Americans tell the story of their own youth in this book. The autobiographies portray a wide variety of interests and accomplishments, but they all tell the story of how the chance came to get up in the world and what it took to take advantage of the opportunity. Included are excerpts from the life stories of Babe Ruth, Gra Moses, Katharine Cornell, Florello LaGuardia, Charles Lindberg, Alice Marble, Sol William O. Douglas, Rufus Jones and fifteen others. Useful for young peoples' groups.
