While most of the pranks being done by the three young men known as "THE SCOFIELD GANG" are the imagination of the author, some did actually happen. The characters in the book are real people that lived in the communities of Tophill and Scofield.

Many of the events mentioned in the book really did happen. These two communities still exist to this day.

However, the original school building was torn down many years ago, and it is difficult to determine exactly where the school, the large covered play shed, the wood shed, and the two outhouses were located on the property. About the AuthorMel came from a family of nine children, he being the oldest son.

Mel attended this little one room school through grade seven. Over half of the students in Scofield School were either brothers and sisters or first cousins.

His teacher for all those years was Erie E. Ditto.

Many of the events in this book actually happened. Other events are the imagination of the author.

This is the second book Mel has authored. His first book was titled "The Mistry Of Goat Mountain and still available on Amazon.
