 A Blue-Collar Classic June 6, 2006
Peter Browning was 75 when he finished up this gutsy memoir, and it ranks among the best blue-collar stories of American life. The prose is positively alive with the spirit of the Fifties - the tough-minded Fifties that didn't make it into sitcoms. As a truck driver hauling cars across the Great West, he encountered plenty of memorable characters, and his story of a peripatetic life fifty years ago is hard to put down.

Working For Wages: On The Road In The Fifties by Peter Browning is a memoir of nearly ten years on a job driving new cars and trucks from Detroit to Los Angeles between 1949 and 1958 makes for a memoir which is hard to easily peg, charting changing social, economic and business issues of the times. Vanishing lifestyles and jobs, changing 1950s sentiments, and both humor and high drama are imparted in this lively, revealing guide.
