Reminiscences of Old Time Dance and Community Life
Dan E. Matheson recalls a bygone era of village gatherings, bells, pranks, and a close knit era. He names places and people, from old homesteads near Davenport to local theaters, teachers, and bands. The musing covers Christmas Eve antics, a tanning liquid accident, and a lament for lost dance traditions and orchestras.
