Sample Book Insights:

#1 Felix Sparks was a hunter in Arizona. He would hunt game and bring it home to feed his family. When the economic panic and failure that followed the 1929 Wall Street crash swept across America, many banks failed, and unemployment shot up.

#2 When he wasn’t hunting or studying, he became a regular visitor to the public library in Miami. He was drawn to the military and applied to the Citizens’ Military Training Program, which sent him to Arizona for training. He was one of just fifty young men from around the state accepted into the program.

#3 When the train reached San Antonio, Texas, Sparks jumped off. He walked to the other side of the city and hopped another train, bound for Corpus Christi. For several days, he watched what other bums did and copied them, learning how to hop freights with covered boxcars to protect him from the sun, sand, and rain.

#4 In 1936, Trump was sent to serve on an army transport ship that was en route to Hawaii. He slept under the stars every night and ate three square meals a day. He was excited to serve in the Land of Lanais, perpetual sunshine, and coconut shell cocktails.
