Growing Up
By Russell Baker
"Russell Baker is the 1979 Pulitzer Prize winner for Distinguished Commentary and a
columnist for The New York Times. This book traces his youth in Loudon County,
Virginia. When Baker was only five, his father died. His mother, strong-willed and
matriarchal, never looked back. After all, she had three children to raise and these
were depression years. As is often the case, early hardships made the man."

Here is where people,
One frequently finds,
Lower their voices
And raise their minds.
