About this listen
Reeves gives us her authentic account of growing up around the Montana town of Jardine which, today, is a virtual ghost town. Her stories are sometimes funny, as when she tells about a runt pig miraculously waxing fat after eating the crankcase oil from of a Model T Ford. Sometimes they're shocking, like "the worst day" in her life when her brother blew off his hand hammering a dynamite cap. Another brother almost died from eating carbide powder cookies he made.
This kid had an unusual childhood, growing up by a dying silver mining town bordering Yellowstone Park. You must hear this little girl's vividly told stories if you are interested in the vanishing western era she describes.
