The Sandy Creek Boys contains remembered stories that range from intimate to hilarious to hair raising, including episodes on a north Texas farm, in the nearby towns, at school, and a short stint in the local jail. The stories are based on the lives of Jerry A Matney and his three brothers, who grew up in Wise County, Texas. Several of the boys' childhood friends feature prominently in these stories, particularly the boy who loved to set off fireworks at school and the theater.
This coming-of-age memoir contains nearly 100 tales about the Matney boys, who found inventive and rambunctious ways to have fun in and around Big Sandy Creek. From the 1930s to the 1950s, these brothers and their boyhood friends entertained each other both in and out of trouble.
Most of the stories are related in chronological order, beginning with a short history of the Matney family's move to Texas and ending after the last boy enters the military. The Epilogue explains what each character in these stories ended up doing with the rest of his life.
