Set against the backdrop of a Missouri farmhouse, the narrative explores Harry S. Truman's formative years from 1906 to 1917, where he took on the responsibilities of a 600-acre farm after his father's death. The book delves into his long courtship with Bess Wallace and his involvement with organizations like the Free Masons. Historian Jon Taylor utilizes photographs, letters, and farm receipts to vividly illustrate how Truman's humble beginnings shaped his character and prepared him for his future role as President.
