The book is a well-written military history by Jay Stout, describing George Cooper’s experiences as a pilot during World War II. But the story is also a human one – of George’s family, his childhood in the Philippines, and his coming of age in difficult times.
The Old Home Place is the story of a farm in eastern Jefferson County. The book reads like a novel, tracing the farm, its occupants and its crops from the late 1800s to the present day.
