West Texas Tales
$31.00
Description
Sitting at the breakfast table in the old farmhouse on the hill, Mama holding the baby and Daddy buttering the kids' biscuits while they're hot, helps tell the story of a family's struggles and joys during the drought and depression on a West Texas farm.
This story by the author of Odyssey of Innocents is her memory as a young girl from 1925 to 1933.
Each chapter contains an incident of family life: going to a Medicine show, the Pie Supper, making lye soap, and when the Watkins man came, all big events. Other stories of being frightened by screams of a mountain lion and a brave five-year-old boy helping his mother kill a rattlesnake.
Lessons learned at school, picking cotton and wishing for rain are a part of life. Coping with a family tragedy, a tornado and crop loss, the family never looses hope for a better life.
Wonderful illustrations and great country recipes help make this book an unforgettable work.
