Two cousins experienced the quirky people, places, events, laughter, innocence, dangers and just plain fun of an enchanting childhood in Kernville, California, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains north of Los Angeles. Sixty years later, Barbara Hinkey and Pat McPherson separately, now together, have chronicled that magical time in the 1940's in the town that disappeared off maps when it made way for the Lake Isabella reservoir; but never out of their memories. Over 80 Photos and illustrations.
