Janie's Journal, volume 2: 1988-1991 - Paperback

Ranch wife, camp cook, photo-journalist, and amateur historian Janie Tippett continues her thirty-one years of newspaper columns chronicling the lives of cattle ranchers and hay farmers in the remote hills and canyons of rural northeast Oregon.

In this second volume, she trails cattle to the hills, attends local rodeos and brandings, cares for her garden and the ranch on Prairie Creek, leads her 4-H Sourdough Shutterbugs into the backcountry, visits mining towns and historic ranches in the Sierra Nevada foothills in California, attends Fishtrap writing retreats, and collects oral histories from local old-timers about Wallowa County's past.

Janie's journals capture the complicated struggles of the men and women who love their vanishing way of life.
