Description

An isolated Cariboo ranch with six-month-long, sub-zero winters was a startling contrast to California but to the Lee boys it promised huge adventure. Between them they had one year of formal education but a dedicated mother and home learnin' seemed to work. Before it was over Dr. Eldon had delivered 4,000 babies and Reverend Todd had written a host of books.
