Description

The true life story of Lee Ander Wilder and his family as told by his children. The family's journey began in Arkansas at around 1899 when they traveled by covered wagon to Texas and then on to the Indian Territory (Oklahoma)where they stayed until 1913, and then came on to California by train. Lee Ander was a multi-talented individual, gifted musically both with a lovely singing voice and the gift to play most any instrument that he picked up. He was a law abiding man, in fact, he was in charge of closing down illegal moon-shine stills while in Arkansas and he was the peace-maker around Choska in the Indian Territory prior to Oklahoma joining the States. His wife, Elizabeth Fancher Ramsey, was a devout Christian and quite the marksman with her rifle. Together they raised 9 children. This book contains the memoirs from three of those children which weaves together the true story of their lives in an entertaining, humorous, and memorable fashion.
