What were your favorite childhood novels? I had three that probably sent me on the path of today. 1. My side of the mountain 2. Where the red fern grows 3. Ironside?
The "ironside" novel I cannot find and I may have the title wrong. It was about a boy in the everglades that had a father who was "out of it" and the boy caught rattle snakes to milk for the money. If anyone knows this book, please let me know the correct title. The name "Ironside" came from an old gator he used to see all the time.

A favorite of mine, as I lived in southern Florida for a bit as a boy. My Side Of The Mountain, by Jean George also was a favorite. My copy of the Ruark novel The Old Man And The Boy was nearly worn out as well.
