by Rhonda Rein (Author), Myrtle James Stump (Author)
Myrtle James Stump was born in Missouri during the late 1800s when people traveled by covered wagons, boats, and trains. Her family grew their own food, hauled their drinking water from a spring, and washed their clothes in kettles in the yard. There was only one telephone in her town that everyone shared, and friends and neighbors often joined one another for meals.
This book was compiled from Myrtle's journal, which describes her family's westward journey by covered wagon. The result is a heartwarming, firsthand account of the people they met and the things they saw along the way. People of all ages, especially kids, will enjoy Myrtle's perspective of life from long ago.
