Wild Towns of Nebraska
A passing stranger raved about this book, which piqued my curiosity. When I got my hands on the book I settled in for a trip to the past. I was immediately drawn into the narrative as the author described the river journey with her infant and toddler sons and six year old daughter to the sheep ranch in remote Idaho near the Oregon border where her husband was establishing the livelihood they had chosen to weather the depression.
The following eight years brought many challenges and adventures. It is fascinating to read about the region, equipment, challenges, and ingenuity of these people and their neighbors.
I became curious about the place and found that there are lots of photos and some information using "Kirkwood Creek Idaho" as search terms, including these images: . Not only that, but I also learned that the author went on to become the 23rd First Lady of Idaho, from 1950 to 1954.
There is so much to learn from and appreciate about this generation of Americans.
