""Life on the Morapos" is a book based on my mother, Janet Eberle's, daily diary entries. She began writing in 1944 and continued this practice until 2003. This book covers the years from 1944 to 1963, when we lived on the Morapos Creek, in rural Moffat County, Colorado near Hamilton, Colorado. This book explores everyday life on the ranch as well as unusual events such as getting electricity and all of its conveniences in 1953, the harsh winter of 1949,and our close relationships with our many neighbors." -Back Cover.
