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.
Stichley's Rating:
I don't even know where I got this old beat-up book. My version didn't have a cover anymore it was so "loved" before I got it. This is a great story about young Ralph Moody growing up that is filled with adventure, excitement, and at time sadness. I think that anyone who dreams of having lived in the old west would love this book.
