Fortified with Yankee ingenuity and western can-do energy, the Moody family, transplanted from New England, builds a new life on a Colorado ranch early in the twentieth century. Father has died and Little Britches shoulders the responsibilities of a man at age eleven. Man of the Family continues true pioneering adventures as unforgettable as those in Little Britches and The Fields of Home, also available as Bison Books.

"[Moody] has a splendid talent for bringing the ashes of the past into life."―Chicago Sunday Tribune Source: Chicago Sunday Tribune

"An affectionate portrait of ranch-town folk who knew how to help without humiliating, and a warm but ungushing tribute to a remarkable woman who deplored her inability to give her children everything, yet gave them much."―New York Times Source: New York Times

"Man of the Family is everything that Little Britches was―a heart-warming, frank, com-pletely delightful narrative. Some readers may even like it better."―San Francisco Chronicle Source: San Francisco Chronicle

"Mr. Moody remembers, and can put on paper, the terrifying passion of a small boy's heart, where there is no routine, and every victory and every disappointment is oversize and overwhelming."―New York Herald Tribune Source: New York Herald Tribune

"A heart-warming book. . . . Little Britches' fierce loyalty to his mother is matched only by his practical consideration for his brothers and sisters."―Christian Science Monitor Source: Christian Science Monitor
