A cross between Betty MacDonald and a monograph on natural science of the Siskiyou Mountains and the Klamath River, Patterson's narrative follows her adventure of moving from "A cushioned life in San Francisco" to a rustic cabin near Happy Camp, in the thick of the Siskiyous midway between Yreka and Crescent City. A bright, attractive copy. Dust jacket is now protected in a clear, removable, archival sleeve.
