Excellent autobiography of a woman homesteading

I moved to this area in 1983 and read this book many years ago. I plan on reading it again, because I do not remember much detail , just that it was an amazing story of her and her husband going on horseback and building a home in the forest . The road now leads to Crater Lake. I have often wondered where exactly this area is because most is National Forest. The actual story amazed me. I do not remember details, just that daily life included more than we could now imagine. She had her husband bring a stove on horsebacK! If I remember correctly I was extremely shocked to find the road wasn't paved until the 1960's! This was just a very interesting and amazing book. Sorry for the lack of detail but I wanted to write something. Surprised that it has no reviews. It was a very popular local book. She was still alive when I moved here and I remember it made local news when she died several years ago.
