ABOUT: RURAL AMERICA is the cradle of the nation's greatness. As urban growth chews more deeply into what was once broad acres, grazing land and timber, the irreplaceable national loss becomes ever more apparent. In the mountain country, and the little lost pockets of ranchland and townships, are the last holdouts of a way of life that is rich, satisfying, and nostalgic in remembrance. Such a place is the South Fork of the Kern River. SOUTH FORK COUNTRY is Bob Powers' chronicle of the land of his birth and lifetime, and of the people who were his friends, kinsmen, and neighbors. It is an intimate, honest, touching portrayal of the people who lived out their lives in one of the most spectacular and historical areas of California's high country. This book tells of the land they loved, and how this mountain wilderness shaped their existence to greatness or defeat. It could have been written only by a man dedicated to a deep and abiding dream. It tells of many thingsof the earliest settlers of the ranchesof the cattle kingsof the towns-folk of Kernville, Isabella, Onyx, Weldon, and the more remote mountain ghost towns which are no more. It tells of the miners who struck it rich, and of some who did not. It tells of the high country, and the author's deep concern for the still unspoiled wilderness of the timberland and mountain meadows. It is rich in human detail, and humble and earthy in its telling. It is one man's testament to a fast vanishing way of life that was physically rough, but soul-satisfying. Chapter by chapter it opens up such mountain areas as The Canebrake, Inscribed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # ABE-1718562000389
