Description of the Book:

Arnold R. Trimmer, a native of California, spent nearly his entire life in Carson Valley. His parents moved from Diamond Valley, California to the historic Frey ranch at the outskirts of Genoa in 1909 when he was four. Mr. Trimmer made a living by ranching and raising hay and cattle. Mr. Trimmer’s contributions to the local historical society and volunteer fire department are numerous and important. Trimmer recalls everyday life on the ranches, in the forest, and in the towns of Carson Valley. He presents sketches and folklore of Valley people, discussions of community life, a chapter on logging in the nearby Sierra Nevada, descriptions of family life, and observations on changes in home and ranch practices.
