Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Ralph Moody's books "should be read aloud in every family circle in America."--Sterling North
"A book I would especially recommend for someone with a problem. It is not a bit 'preachy, ' but it warms your heart. It would be as appropriate for a secluded retreat for keyed-up executives as for a junior high library."--Best Sellers
"Ralph Moody's story is a perfect example of rural American enterprise in the early 1920s. . . . He found himself with mountainous debts through collapse of the livestock market. In the process of digging himself out of debt, he also saved a Kansas town from total bankruptcy. . . . The reader lives through a flash flood, admires his sanitary slaughter house, and weeps over a forced farm auction. This book is a glorious recollection of pre-Dust Bowl, pre-Depression days and is highly recommended."--Library Journal
