Red Boots Adventures

About the Book

In 1905, there was more to an Oregon dairy and apple orchard than milking cows and picking apples. Life was slower paced, but never dull as mischievous ten-year-old Josephine gets talked into a logrolling contest on Hood River by her brothers. She is introduced to Native Americans and comes face to face with a mountain lion! She is even in on planning the “great escape” to a forbidden barn dance with all her siblings. Papa, a Civil War veteran, would never approve, but he didn’t need to know!

About the Author

It was 1967 when my father informed me that my grandmother had been born before the turn of the last century, in 1896. I suddenly realized that my Grandma had been there for lumberjacks, Indians and genuine original horsepower! I flooded her with questions about her life at my age of 10. Grandma said to me, "I will tell you about our family history so you will not be lost... without roots." This book, Red Boot Adventures is a collection of her childhood stories.
