Hardscrabble: A Narrative of the California Hill Country

by Anita Kunkler

Book Overview

Hardscrabble is the story of a family and a region which long continued to mirror many of the earlier frontier practices of the West. In discussing her youth, Kunkler senses the richness, wildness, and warmth of the hill country and its people. Her memoir reflects the heroic geography of northern California, with its lushness of nature, and reveals the crude isolation, the harsh physical conditions, and the failures of life. Originally published by the University of Nevada Press in 1975, Hardscrabble is an ageless tale of a young person's yearnings -- anxious to leave home, but wedded to the land and the people she knows and loves.
