The Seventeenth Child

101 pp. | Linnet | December, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-208-02414-X $$18.50
(4) 4-6 This unpolished oral history of the seventeenth child in the combined marriages of Pency and George Walthall describes Mabel's experiences growing up on sharecropping land in a rural county in Virginia during the Depression. The series of vignettes are related in such nostalgic terms that even the poverty and prejudice this large African-American family experienced seem quaintly appealing.
