Father has died and Little Britches shoulders the responsibilities of a man at age eleven."--Cover, Bison Books pbk. ed."
  • "After his father's death soon after their arrival in Colorado, eleven-year-old Ralph, his older sister Grace, and their mother attempt to hold their family together. Though not in his teens, Ralph earns his spurs as a cattle puncher. He rides in cowboy races and with Grace's help so disguises his winnings that their mother accepts the money. He designs a curtain stretcher that Grace and their mother use to bring the family a steady income. He takes seriously his responsibilities as man of the family; yet he has more fun than most boys who are far more 'fortunate.' Besides Ralph and his family, meet the good-hearted sheriff, who pays bumbling court to Ralph's mother; Hi, the cowboy friend who teachers Ralph by precept and example; Mr. Batchlett, the sharpest cattle trader for miles about; Mr. Nutting, who explains to Ralph the difference between a hired man and a business man; and a number of others."
  • "Na zijn vaders dood moet een jongen uit een pioniersgezin de zorg voor zijn moeder, broertjes en zusjes op zich nemen. Hun onderlinge band inspireert Ralph en zijn broertjes en zusje nu eens tot grappige en dan weer tot gevaarlijke en avontuurlijke ondernemingen."
  • "After his father died, Ralph, his older sister Grace, and their mother work hard to keep the family on their ranch in Littleton, Colorado. Ralph wasn't in his teens before he "won his spurs" as a cattle puncher. With Grace's help, he masks the source of his prize money so his mother will accept it. Then Ralph designs a curtain stretcher that gives Grace and their mother a way to bring the family steady income."
