Mud Sock

by J. Lennington

Billy Porter was born in the fall of 1923 in the coal-mining town of Rogers, Ohio. The city was called Mud Sock because the streets were always muddy due to the numerous underground springs in the area.

Billy grew up working in the coalmines, sawmills, and on local farms in the area during a time of depression and prohibition. Life was difficult at Billy’s house, especially after his mother left them. Billy and his family find themselves working many jobs just to put food on the table. Billy finds work and love as our great nation declares war on Japan and Germany.

Mud Sock is a true story based on the life of James Clark and his family living in Rogers, Ohio.

Excellent reference book, enjoyed the story. I wish that real names could have been used. I spent alot of time trying to figure out who the real people were. This one is a keeper for my library.
