The Real Diary of a Real Boy: from the Great Depression and Greatest Generation

2.5/5 ( ratings)

The Real Diary of a Real Boy literally turns back the pages of time. Here you will visit the day-to-day, simple and "amazing" adventures of a boy coming of age during the Great Depression. Seen through the eyes of a boy, a seemingly content world free of creditors, war, and tainted heroes. The good guys were good and the bad guys bad. The American government was on America’s side. The Real Diary of a Real Boy is the honest, uninhibited account of a thirteen- year-old boy’s world where stamp collecting, fort building, pen paling, and getting your first pair of long pants were king. Here is my father, John McAleer’s 1937 diary transcribed word for word. In the handwritten pages of his diary is the boy I knew only as my father. And while this diary chronicles one year of my father’s boyhood, the tales, adventures, and boyhood insights he preserved in block letters, using a no. 2 pencil, could represent the ones lived by any father who came of age during the Great Depression and ultimately a man of the Greatest Generation. The same boys, who, overnight, became men, saved a world from tyranny, and became our fathers.
