Skunk Cabbage and Chittum Bark by Bob Dick and Darrel White
Montesano Timberland LibraryThu., May. 237:00 PM
Join Bob Dick for a glimpse into life in the rural backwoods of his youth as described in “Skunk Cabbage and Chittum Bark: Sons of the Wynooche” by Mr. Dick and Darrel White. The unique lifestyle the authors lived is unlikely to be repeated in modern America. They grew up in the Wynooche Valley and through anecdotes and stories bring the Olympic Peninsula of the 1950s and 60s vividly to life. Written with zest and humor, the memoir creates a portrait of resilience, hard work, and numerous brushes with fate.
