Raymond Hart was born on the Canadian prairies near Meadow Creek west of Claresholm, Alberta. This is his story of growing up through the Depression and joining the R.C.A.F. as an Aero Engine Mechanic. An all-encompassing retelling of his life building a successful farm. The book is in three parts: His time in the air force, hunting stories, and family genealogy. What sets his story apart from others is a number of family members chime in with short contributions of their own, making for a heartwarming read.
