A bout the Author

EULALIA BOURNE has "lived" the books she has

authored. The intensity of the many years of her crea-

tive teaching in one-room rural schools is captured

in this record of a matchless year at a ranch school in

the Altar Valley. Incredibly the years of schoolteach-

ing were the same years in which her homestead grew

into a cattle ranch, established and thriving under one

woman's care alone. Known as "Sister" to hundreds

of her neighbors, friends, and former pupils, Sister

wrote in her first book that she was wrapped up in

"kids and cows."

WOMAN IN LEVI'S (UA Press,

1967),

she told about the cows with affection, wit, and

touches of poetry. Here she tells about the kids, and

one of the best years of their lives - and hers too -

at Baboquivari School.
