Rebecca Nixon DavisAfter his retirement in the mountains of North Carolina, Clifton Nixon put his boyhood stories to paper and chronicled his life on the farm in Pickford, Michigan, a tiny town on the Upper Peninsula. Following his military service, he became an ordaind minister where from the pulpit, he captivated his audience with farm life illustrations. He wove descriptions of a loving family, hard work, and exceedingly hard times of The Great Depression into his sermons to illustrate his passion for his Christian heritage. These pages portray a farm boy's unique childhood in the frozen north and paint a seldom seen picture of dog sleds, horse drawn cutters, merchants along Main Street and a one room schoolhouse called Frogpond. Clifton's practical imageries of people and events in the little town of Pickford, will forever live-on in these memoirs as a reminder of a unique time in our history. Read More Read Less
