In 1905, there was more to an Oregon dairy and apple orchard than milking cows and picking apples. Life was slower paced, but never dull as mischievous ten-year-old Josephine gets talked into a logrolling contest on Hood River by her brothers. She is introduced to Native Americans and comes face to face with a mountain lion! She is even in on planning the "great escape" to a forbidden barn dance with all her siblings. Papa, a Civil War veteran, would never approve, but he didn't need to know!
