Book 107: From Pennsylvania Dutch Farm to Queen of the Funnel Cakes

2011 biography by Alice Reinert. In chapter 2 "Old enough to feed the cows before school", page 15 there's one description that a young girl (author? as still 4 yo ?, in 1928 or maybe a bit later) changed from a dress into her brother's bibs + shirt. (Oldest brother is 11 years older than her).

Some more descriptions like how log they wore clothes then etc and later another mentioning of making clothes out of feed sacks but hat only daughters. Probably some more interesting farm stories, but I haven't read much more.

I found a long preview on Google books. Even photos inside but I think none in bibs.

But obviously, half of the book are recipes.
