This is a true story about growing up in and around the Cabinet mountains and Clark Fork, Idaho. It recounts the lives of many family members, especially my mother and father and their lives before us children came along, and on through their lives until they passed. Many memories of mine as I grew up and how life was so very different than it is now, and how we made it through the wars, rations, medical issues with little care and more...I think you will enjoy this as much as I had writing it, as it has a fair amount of humor, all of it true. Please read this and pass it on to your family members, order more for holidays and such, as it is written about a time that most have forgotten and one that I will always remember.The reasons for the various name spellings of my name Cora Bell Trott, is because I was born Corabell Macumber. Everyone called me that. As I grew older, I shortened it to two names, Cora and Bell. Have gone by Cora ever since. Thank you very much, Cora Bell Trott
