{"product_id":"9780595617807","title":"Billy the Kid (From Houston-Not Texas): A Child's Life from 1950 to 1960","description":"The 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 \u003cb\u003eBill Ramsey\u003c\/b\u003e was a child who grew up in that decade. \u003ci\u003eIn Billy the Kid (From Houston-Not Texas)\u003c\/i\u003e he recalls those times and the townspeople, teachers, and neighbors in Houston, Pennsylvania.\u003cbr\u003e  Ramsey 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.\u003cbr\u003e  The vignettes offered in \u003ci\u003eBilly the Kid\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47103843434736,"sku":"9780595617807","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780595617807_p0.jpg?v=1763724160","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780595617807","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
