Description

Ranch wife, cow camp cook, photo-journalist, and amateur historian Janie Tippett continues her thirty-one years of newspaper columns chronicling the lives of cattle ranchers and hay farmers in the remote hills of rural northeast Oregon. In this sixth volume, she attends local rodeos and brandings, reports on old-time fiddlers and rock jack building contests, cares for her garden and the ranch on Prairie Creek, explores Nez Perce history, reports on wolf attacks on ranchers' cows and calves, joins wounded veterans on a river rafting trip, and collects oral histories from local old-timers about Wallowa County's past. Janie's journals capture the complicated struggles of the men and women who love their vanishing way of life.
