Deemer Lee chronicles the forty-four years he gathered and wrote news--forty one of them as editor and publisher of his town's newspaper. Tales of bootleggers, Chautauqua meetings, an arsonist, Scandinavian immigration followed by the Irish influx, the building of the railroad and finally the coming of the Great Depression. All these events plus adventures of a massive meteorite and haunting river tragedies creat the drama and flow of life in small town America.
