Apples to Oregon Being the (Slightly) True Narrative of How a Brave Pioneer Father Brought Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Grapes, and Cherries (and Children) Across the Plains

Description

The slightly true narrative of how a brave pioneer father brought apples, pears, plums, grapes, and cherries (and children) across the plains.Apples, ho! When Papa decides to pull up roots and move from Iowa to Oregon, he cant bear to leave his precious apple trees behind. Or his peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, and pears. Oh, and he takes his family along too. But the trail is cruel. First there a river to cross that wider than Texas, then there are hailstones as big as plums, and then there even a drought, sure to crisp the cherries. Luckily Delicious (the nonedible apple of Daddy eye) wont let anything stop her father darling saps from tasting the sweet Oregon soil. A hilarious tall tale from the team that brought you Fannie in the Kitchen that loosely based on the life of a real fruiting pioneer.
