Unpublished James Dean letter to Winslow family-Summer 1952 James Dean, Fairmount, Indiana & Farming: Conversations with Marcus Winslow tells the story of James Dean and the Midwestern family that raised him through the eyes of the boy who thought of him as an older brother, more than a cousin.

Coupled with never-before published letters and a treasure trove of photographs, Marcus recalls Dean and the farm and the fans and how Jimmie's incandescent fame changed the lives of the Winslow family and his hometown forever.
