"In his Eighth Book, Bob Powers shares the lives of other pioneer families in the High Country Communities that surround the Kern River Valley. Some of the subjects covered in this book include the gold mining towns, cattlemen and sheepmen, along with the construction of the Tehachapi railroad. Day-to-day life of the common people and their struggle through hard times and isolation are detailed in this book. Bob gives us the historical names, dates and places, illustrated with many old-time photos and takes us into the lives of the early settlers, as they faced an often harsh frontier."
