Emmett Shelton Sr. (1905-2000) tells of growing Up in South Austins 100 years ago. His was a difficult home birth without a doctor. As the 5th of six boys, that was not his mother's first challenge! No cars, no lights, no inside plumbing - life was very different in South Austin.
Emmett tells of seeing the first airplane, the first street-car and playing with the boys of the Deaf School. Crisis shook the family when brother Earl was shot gathering pecans near Travis High. South Austin was a different place 100 years ago but the boys were much the same!
Emmett recorded these stories in the late 1970s after losing his eyesight. He wanted to share these first-hand stories of life in Austin, roughly 100 years ago.
