A New View From the Trees

I first selected to read this book because I was on assignment to select and report on a book based on a subject convered in my college Agro-Ecology class. What I found was a new perspective of these amazing people known as "Okies" from the perspective of one among them in the fruit trees of America. The touching stories, informative history, and beautiful photography touched my heart. The book was well thoughtout, written, and developed. I am truely thankful for the enlightenment this book has brought to my mind and heart concerning this fasintating culture which is disappearing. I am grateful for this preservation of the thoughts and ideas of this people for future generations when the life syle of these people have finaly slipped into pure history.
