Description

Coming Up a Country Boy is not an autobiography, nor does Gresham consider it his memoirs. Rather, he says, it is a collection of recollections, some in chronological order, others not. The essays chronicle impressions various folks made on Gresham and, in some cases, the effect those impressions had on his life. Some entertained, some molded character, some irritated; but all were interesting.
