Summary

A memoir of a young girl's early years of her life on a vast ranch in the Big Bend area of Texas. Her family raised sheep and goats and stuggled against the terrain, weather, panthers, eagles, and other predators during the difficult times of the Depression. Includes charming descriptions of home schooling, best friends, and the social life of people scattered over a huge area. Interesting look at ranching in the area, sheep shearing, predator control and mining in the Big Bend before the Park. Author's family lost their ranch to Big Bend National Park when it was formed in 1944.
