The Devil Made Me Do It is a collection of biographical anecdotes that highlight mostly humorous moments in the life of a born Hoosier and his network of friends and family. It is not a book written for the masses but rather a scrapbook of narratives that will appeal to those with a taste for honest humor and mostly benign real life mischief of the seemingly well-adjusted neighbor next door. The Devil Made Me Do It will also appeal to local historians and folklorists of the Hoosier state, and particularly those of Monroe and Owen Counties, with its personal narratives that offer glimpses into the post-war life of the region through the eyes of a native.
