Biscuits Across the Brazos

The small boy watched as loving hands wrapped two biscuits in wax paper. He refused to eat Aunt Minnie's biscuits the next day, sensing that they represented a part of his life that was over. He continued to protect them as the family crossed Texas in a covered wagon. Eighty years later, the boy's son led a single wagon across Texas, carrying those same biscuits. This is the story of how two cousins, two mules, two horses, two trips across Texas, and those two biscuits brought together five generations of a family. Jim H. Ainsworth is the author of seven books. This memoir inspired four novels. Other books by Jim Ainsworth are "Home Light Burning," "Rivers Crossing," "Rivers Ebb," and "Rivers Flow," all from Sunstone Press.
