This story is about food; it's about hunting and gathering, it's about the hard work it took to feed a family of ten on a forty acre stump ranch in the early 1900s through 1950. This story is about how the food was produced and how it was prepared. This story tells how much time it took to get all that hearty food to the table ready to eat.
This book contains many recipes, some of which would be considered quite bland by today's standards. Others are very good, unchanged by the passage of time. They were good recipes in 1920 and they're still good today.
This book is about fishing, picking wild blackberries, picking wild hazel nuts, huckleberries and harvesting an enormous garden. It's about foraging and surviving in a place made isolated by the Eel River.
This story is about how a forty acre stump ranch was turned into a Garden of Eden by the hard work and grit that was the character of our pioneering ancestors. This story is written by the author to tell as he lived his boyhood and his teenage years.
This is the author's fifth published book, all nonfiction/historical. All five books reflect his fascination and appreciation for those hearty pioneers who made our lives a little bit easier.
