Apples to Oregon: Being the (Slightly) True Narrative of How a Brave Pioneer Father Brought Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Grapes, and Cherries (and Children) Across the Plains

The slightly true narrative of how a brave pioneer father brought apples, pears, plums, grapes, and cherries (and children) across the plains.

Apples, ho!

When Papa decides to pull up roots and move from Iowa to Oregon, he canâ€™t bear to leave his precious apple trees behind. Or his peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, and pears. Oh, and he takes his family along too.

But the trail is cruel. First thereâ€™s a river to cross thatâ€™s wider than Texas, then there are hailstones as big as plums, and then thereâ€™s even a drought, sure to crisp the cherries.

Luckily Delicious (the nonedible apple of Daddyâ€™s eye) wonâ€™t let anything stop her fatherâ€™s darling saps from tasting the sweet Oregon soil. A hilarious tall tale from the team that brought you Fannie in the Kitchen thatâ€™s loosely based on the life of a real fruiting pioneer.
