Big Dave — Robert W. Callis

In the summer of 1941, the area around Kemmerer, Wyoming, is still in the grip of the Great Depression. World War II rages overseas in Europe and Asia but is not yet a reality in the United States.
This is the story of eight young men, newly graduated from Kemmerer High School, as they make their journey from boyhood to manhood in a summer filled with new challenges, new opportunities, and new dangers. Some will succeed. Some will fail. This is their story.
