Eisenhower Babies
Growing Up on Moonshots, Comic Books, and Black-and-White TV
Ronnie Blair, 2023
Eisenhower Babies takes readers on a journey to a time when World War II memories were still fresh, space exploration was becoming more than just fantastical subject matter for science fiction, and television had barged its way into American homes, taking up permanent residence in a hallowed spot in front of the living room sofa. This memoir of growing up in a Kentucky coal-mining community from the late 1950s to the early 1970s mixes geography, popular culture, and history into a nostalgic journey interspersed with tales of coal-strike tensions and humorous family adventures.
