During the summer of his twelfth year, Ralph works on a cattle ranch in the shadow of Pike's Peak, earning " man's wages" of a dollar a day. Little Britches is tested against an interesting array of seasoned cowboys, who tell Ralph, 'you play the hand you draw.'
“Ralph Moody was eight years old in 1906, when his family moved to Colorado. Through his eyes we experience the pleasures and perils of ranching there early in the twentieth century. Auctions, roundups, family picnics, irrigation wars, tornadoes and wind storms, give authentic color to Little Britches. He [Moody] has an incredible life story; it will touch your heart as you read it. Ralph Moody’s books should be read aloud in every family circle in America.”
Kirkus Reviews...
“Enthusiastically recommended for young and old.”
