Ralph Moody was born in 1898 and spent time on ranches and farms during the horse era. Over the years he wrote a series of books that are mostly considered autobiographies rather than ficton.
The first of the series is "Little Britches" and begins with the family moving to Colorado to a ranch for the dads health in 1906 when Ralph was a little boy.
Later ones are after WWI, with two of them with him living in far NW Kansas. In "On the Dry Divide" he tells in detail of cutting wheat with header barge.
He is a master author and you feel like you are there with him as he tells the story of the events that occur.
I highly recommend you read all of them. I first heard them as a boy in the 1950 and read all of them about once a year. I don"t do that with any other books at all.
