Stories of a feral American childhood. The War and Cold War years of family disruption and dislocation were the Golden Age for wilding American youth. The youngsters in the stories herein were often left to find their own way through dangerous years of abandonment, loneliness, hunger, defiance, outlawry, and exhilarating freedom that came only with those costs.
