{"product_id":"9780595502813","title":"Billy the Kid (from Houston-Not Texas): A Child's Life from 1950 to 1960","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe decade of the fifties may have been the last to allow children to be children. Childhood in the fifties was innocent, happy, and carefree. Author Bill Ramsey was a child who grew up in that decade. In Billy the Kid (From Houston-Not Texas) he recalls those times and the townspeople, teachers, and neighbors in Houston, Pennsylvania. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRamsey and his family lived in a modest home in this small town in western Pennsylvania, where the townspeople helped him to become a man. His adult values and philosophies were shaped by that experience. This biographical memoir recounts the simple existence of children in the fifties, with the pick-up ball games, bike riding, and spontaneous play that today's children have replaced with television, the Internet and video games. It was a time when families ate meals together and fast food restaurants did not exist. It was a time when everyone knew his neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vignettes offered in Billy the Kid honor the memory of those carefree days and the joys of childhood. Although we can't return to those years, we can return to a simpler way of life that can be sustained and enjoyed.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46272702480625,"sku":"9780595502813","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9780595502813_p0.jpg?v=1765125873","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780595502813","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
