"In
his memoirs, I Must Remember This, George Youngblood captures the
spirit and the soul of America as it faced economic disaster and social
injustice and then found itself fighting World War II. Humor, warmth,
sadness, and fear play themselves out in the eyes of a child growing
into a teenager and then a young man. It's a literary journey worth
taking."
Cliff Hollingsworth, celebrated screenwriter, famous for
"Cinderella Man."
"George Youngblood is
truly one of the best Southern writers to emerge in a long time. His
memoir, I Must Remember This, brings together all the charm, intimacy,
and mystique of the South in a tale only a Southerner could tell."
W. Thomas Smith, Jr., author, columnist, executive editor of World Defense Review. "In I Must Remember This,
George Youngblood paints portraits of his coming of age during the
Great Depression and World War II. Those struggles and others, such as
race relations, will pull young readers into those periods of history.
Older audiences can find an easy chair and take a trip down memory
lane." Idella Bodie, South Carolina writing teacher and author of Carolina Girl.
