I wrote this book because I had to, writes the author. I kept putting it out of my mind and it kept coming back. Finally, it bothered me so much that I dashed off 1600 words in about an hour and sent it over to Wellington.... Note: This book is about my father, James Angus McDonald, and how he labored to make a good farm out of a poor one. I lived on this farm with him and my brother, sister, and mother from 1912 to 1922 near Sallisaw, Oklahoma. Printed in the USA.
