The White Boy and the Indians: A Memoir of Reservation Life, the Depression and the Okies
By Paul Austin Jennings. The Indian communities of the 1930s and 40s in the Klamath Mountains and the small railroad towns in California’s Central Valley during the Depression: these are the places that hold rich stories of life and times now almost forgotten, except in the memories of a boy who experienced the adventure of living them. As the only white boy in an all-Indian school, the author developed strong relationships with his Native American classmates and neighbors.
