She depicts with strength and eloquence her own story--her days at the Mission School, making baskets and catching salmon, the pain of giving birth and the death of a son--as well as the legends and stories of events told to her--a stagecoach robbery, a woman who was the prisoner of a bear. First printed in 1973, Augusta's story continues to be a fascinating glimpse into the past, with throughlines to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.8 x 7.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 02, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42733569343551,"sku":"9781990776489","price":32.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/de97bd72e1e87e22448906520882c00b.webp?v=1765136442","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-days-of-augusta-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
