"I want to leave something of my innermost self," writes Nellie Gail Moulton, "and to particularly remember the true Pioneer Spirit that distinguished your ancestors and how each helped bring about, step by strange, miraculous, fantastic, preposterous step, the position our family holds today." In a charming, flamboyant style, Nellie tells of crossing Kansas in a covered wagon and being stopped by bandits; of becoming an accountant, school teacher and principal, and giving it up for love; of studying en plein air painting with the California masters; of managing a 22,000-acre cattle ranch, and of founding the Laguna Playhouse and Laguna College of Art and Design. "For there is one thing I believe will never fade into oblivion - beauty in literature, painting, music, the drama - no matter how some will agitate, for whatever motive, to bring true talent to ridicule..."Only recently discovered in the family archives, Living Memories is illustrated by dozens of never-before-seen photos from the Moulton family and Moulton Museum."This enthralling historical timepiece by Moulton-rescued from obscurity and edited by her great-grandson, Scott T. Barnes-preserves the legacy of a 'true pioneer,' a woman whose adventures included trundling across the plains in a covered wagon and spanned decades of revolution, daring ventures, and lasting human connection." ~ BookLife by Publishers Weekly
