Then, one evening, after a quarrel about his lack of accomplishment, Ruth vandalized Coe's car. "Don't let Son upset you," she once told Perham. "He's not worth it." Perham...
...Strike to Milk's Camp, and discovered, among other this, that families there had much to endure. Many occupied dirt floor huts bereft of adequate heat and running water; some were forced to sleep, even to cook, in rusted-out car bodies.
