Little Britches
Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers | Ralph Moody
3 posts | 10 read | 3 to read
Ralph Moody was eight years old in 1906 when his family moved from New Hampshire to a Colorado ranch. Through his eyes we experience the pleasures and perils of ranching there early in the twentieth century. Auctions and roundups, family picnics, irrigation wars, tornadoes and wind storms give authentic color to Little Britches. So do adventures, wonderfully told, that equip Ralph to take his father's place when it becomes necessary. Little Britches was the literary debut of Ralph Moody, who wrote about the adventures of his family in eight glorious books, all available as Bison Books.

Really enjoyable growing-up memories of a boy on a Colorado ranch in early 1900's. Kind of a Little House type of book for boys. He learns important life lessons.

I've started reading this one that I found at a thrift store. I remember that my 6th grade teacher read it to my class, but I don't remember the details. Looks good.

bibliothecarivs This one is still amazingly popular at my library. 3y
KCofKaysville @bibliothecarivs I'm liking it so far, about a 1/4 into it. Looks like there are sequels too.
