Author: Alden Hatch

A Closely Knit Family of Six Boys. Young Ike grew up on a modest farm in Kansas in a big, active family where all six brothers did farm work and helped out in their father's creamery. They liked to fish, play baseball and football - and dare each other into all kinds of adventures. Once Ike and Edgar took a wild ride during a flood in a boat without oars. When the six brothers - all with strong opinions - got into fistfights, their mother refused to interfere. She believed her sons should learn to make their own decisions.
