All Aboard

A book about Jim's grandmother, Marjorie Reed, was recently published and can be purchased on Amazon. She was a famous western artist, with quite an interesting life. Her paintings are both incredibly beautiful and capture the essence of early western living in a vivid way. She did a series on the missions of California, which was also published in book form. She traveled all over the western United States and even lived with the Bedouins in Israel for a time. She also lived on the Salmon River in Siskiyou County when she was married to a miner. Quite a lady!
