Description
.An affectionate portrait of ranch-town folk who knew how to help without humiliating, and a warm but ungushing tribute to a remarkable woman who deplored her inability to give her children everything, yet gave them much." Man of the Family is everything that Little Britches was a heart-warming, frank, com-pletely delightful narrative. Some readers may even like it better.... --New York Times Ralph Moody (1898 1982) is the author of Come on Seabicuit! as well as the Little Britches series about a boy's life on a Colorado ranch.
Features & Highlights
- Fortified with Yankee ingenuity and western can-do energy, the Moody family, transplanted from New England, builds a new life on a Colorado ranch early in the 20th century. Father has died and Little Britches shoulders the responsibilities of a man at age eleven. Continues the true pioneering adventures as unforgettable as those in Little Britches.
