Summary of Walt Larimore & Mike Yorkey's At First Light

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Philip's parents tried to instill some values into him, but he couldn't sit still during church services or children's Sunday school at St. Luke's United Methodist Church. He did better at Vacation Bible School, but he was still considered a rascal by his teachers. #2 Philip's love of horses grew as he grew up.
He spent his summers and holiday breaks riding the horses of friends and family, winning various competitions across western Tennessee and northern Arkansas. #3 Philip Larimore Jr. had a fascination with the Western genre, and would spend his limited allowance on movies about the Wild West. He would sit on the front porch reading Zane Grey novels and imagining himself as the hero. #4 Philip had been an excellent swimmer since he was young.
In 1936, when he was 11 years old, he took a junior lifeguard course with his friends Luke McLaurine and Billy O'Bannon at Camp Currier, a 300-acre Boy Scout camp located just south of Memphis near Eudora, Mississippi. The river was carrying the largest volume of water since the historic flood of 1927.
