The Story of an America that no longer exists. What was it like to live in America 90 years ago? Have you ever needed to use an outhouse at two in the morning? Bathed in a corrugated metal tub with water heated on a wood-burning stove? Read at night by kerosene lamp? Author John Donald O'Shea has collected stories from across the United States about these times and will share them with you.

John Donald O'Shea is a retired Circuit Judge. He has been active in community theater for over 50 years, as an actor, singer, and director. He writes op eds for three Quad City newspapers. He is currently working on his third book about the Great Depression.
