Reeves gives us her authentic account of growing up around Jardine, Montana (today a virtual ghost town) near Gardiner. Her stories are sometimes funny: a runt pig, miraculously waxing fat after eating the crankcase oil from of a Model T Ford. Sometimes awful, like the worst day in her life when her brother blew off his hand by hammering a dynamite cap with a rock. Another brother almost died from eating carbide powder cookies. This girl had an unusual childhood, growing up near a dying mining town on the edge of Yellowstone Park. Her book is a must-read if you are interested in the disappearing Wild West as seen through the eyes of a little girl.
