Stump Ranch Pioneer

Let's Talk About It! Stump Ranch Pioneer (1942), an autobiographical account by Nelle Portrey Davis, chronicles how Davis and her family acquired land in the Idaho panhandle in 1936 after their ranch in eastern Colorado failed in the dustbowl. The book is full of optimism about the value of hard work and simple, homey life, and about Americans' ability to be self-sufficient and neighborly in the face of Depression hardship.
