Them Was The Good Old Days: In Davenport, Scott County, Iowa (1922) is a book written by William L. Purcell that provides a nostalgic glimpse into life in Davenport, Iowa during the early 20th century. The book is a collection of stories, anecdotes, and memories that Purcell has gathered from his own experiences and from conversations with other residents of the city. The book covers a wide range of topics, including local businesses, schools, churches, social events, and sports teams. Purcell also includes stories about notable figures in Davenport's history, such as politicians, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Throughout the book, Purcell emphasizes the sense of community and camaraderie that existed in Davenport during this time period. He paints a picture of a city where neighbors looked out for one another, where children played in the streets, and where people took pride in their local institutions and traditions. Them Was The Good Old Days is a charming and affectionate tribute to a bygone era in Davenport's history. It offers readers a window into a simpler and more innocent time, and celebrates the values and traditions that made this Midwestern city such a special place to live.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
