The beautifully detailed true stories give testament to the integrity, resilience, self-sufficiency and humor of the residents of Democrat Ridge.\u003cp\u003e \"Loaded with stories gleaned from a boyhood of experiences in the rural Ozarks, \u003ci\u003eDemocrat Ridge\u003c\/i\u003e not only entertains, but teaches. Dean Wilson's stories describe events that have sufficient impact to become lifetime memories, and that have the substance to mold lifetime values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e These stories cover life events from early childhood, through school days, and into the years of courtship. They paint a sharp contrast between a boy's self-invented, carefree recreation in the 1940s to today's closely supervised, more politically correct fun. One story even describes what can happen when a mischievous local girl stumbles onto a pond full of boys \"skinny dippin'\" and seining for catfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dean Wilson is truly an outstanding storyteller. His ability to combine a closeness with people to a closeness with nature is meaningfully illustrated in \u003ci\u003eDemocrat Ridge.\"\u003c\/i\u003e--Daniel E.
