Her witty style has been compared to that of Mark Twain, who was born and died in conjunction with the same comet.
Gifted men and women of every culture have passed down a verbal history, stories which tell far more about the life of a people than history books and faded photographs can muster. Walta was such a "Storyteller" who later committed to writing both humorous and poignant memories of our nation's past.
Walta's vivid telling of events, sights, and smells carries the reader to a rural area of Arkansas during the early part of the century, through the Depression years in Oklahoma, to a sheep town in South Dakota and beyond.ver menos
