As time marches on, we tend to forget past customs, lifestyles, hardships, and pleasures. The upcoming generation is often not interested in the past until it's too late, and it's gone and forgotten.
This book tells of seven decades of life in the rural south so the young can know what is meant by "The Good Old Days" and the old can reminisce. Lingering Memories chronicles the changes in hairstyle, modes of transportation, and old-time work/social events, such as the hog killing and the making of molasses.
The book ends with almost twenty pages of "phrases" from the commonly known, such as "Nutty as a fruit cake" and "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" to the more unusual like "Broke as the Ten Commandments" and "Won't pull the hat off your head."
