| Publisher Description: Edward Everett Dale gives a first-hand account of the way pioneer families and cowboys of the frontier lived. Dale has lived in a sod house, and he once rode the range as cook to a group of cowboys. In this book he draws on his varied experiences to describe all aspects of frontier life--the building of a home, the problems of finding wood and water, the procuring and cooking of food, medical practices, and the cultural, social, and religious life of pioneer families. |
