Publisher's Description of Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers by Ralph Moody
Ralph Moody was eight years old in 1906 when his family moved from New Hampshire to a Colorado ranch. Through his eyes we experience the pleasures and perils of ranching there early in the twentieth century. Auctions and roundups, family picnics, irrigation wars, tornadoes and wind storms give authentic color to Little Britches. So do adventures, wonderfully told, that equip Ralph to take his father's place when it becomes necessary.
Little Britches was the literary debut of Ralph Moody, who wrote about the adventures of his family in eight glorious books, all available as Bison Books.
Category Description for Little Britches Series
Often touted as the "Little House for Boys," these books tell the story of author Ralph Moody, beginning as a young boy on a Colorado ranch in the early 1900's.
These books make absorbing read-alouds for younger children, too. Be aware, however, that there is some inappropriate language used - no doubt in keeping with the actual verbiage of rugged cowboys and characters of the time.

I borrowed this series from a friend and loved it. I want it for myself and to share with my dad.
