AbstractTrue (1905-1979) describes his childhood years between 1910 and 1917, when Davenport's German culture was still prevalent. In this article he discusses his grandfather's grocery story, band concerts at Schuetzenpark, the Turngemeinde's Vogelschiessen (bird shoot), and examples of childhood patriotism.
