Mark Twain Made Me Do It and Other Plains Adventures is a collection of humorous essays portraying western Nebraska life and culture of the 1950s. Anecdotes on small-town baseball and the polio epidemic of 1952 provide a historic backdrop to the story of a wide-eyed boy exploring the limits of his universe. The adventures of a Twain-inspired raft trip down the South Platte and Sputnik-inspired homemade rockets mirror a society of seemingly settled lifestyles and frenzied technological advances. Family travels, holidays with Grandpa and Grandma, and marvelous creations like his sister's stories of Susabelle and the magic Band-Aids weave a splendid tale. But Jones's world is not one of sentimental nostalgia; running battles with town bullies, sobering encounters with religious buffoons, and an impressive collection of pedagogues specializing in violent corporal punishment capture the earthy essence of a world now largely disappeared.Binding Type: Paperback

Great running hat.
Size: One Size, Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective
I absolutely love this hat, it is so cute and great for warm weather. I especially love to run with it, you can tighten it easily so it does not blow off if it is windy.

Perfect for running, I love this hat.
Size: One Size, Color: (025) Castlerock / Castlerock / Reflective
This hat is perfect for running in, it's very light weight and breathable so it doesn't get annoying or hot when you're running in the sun. It's easy to clean, just a quick hand wash in the sink and it's dry in 30 minutes. I have a very big head and it's fits me great. If you have a very small head it might be a bit big.
