Mark Twain Made Me Do It and Other Plains Adventures is a collection of humorous essays portraying western Nebraska life and culture of the 1950s. Anecdotes on small-town baseball and the polio epidemic of 1952 provide a historic backdrop to the story of a wide-eyed boy exploring the limits of his universe. The adventures of a Twain-inspired raft trip down the South Platte and Sputnik-inspired homemade rockets mirror a society of seemingly settled lifestyles and frenzied technological advances. Family travels, holidays with Grandpa and Grandma, and marvelous creations like his sister's stories of Susabelle and the magic Band-Aids weave a splendid tale. But Jones's world is not one of sentimental nostalgia; running battles with town bullies, sobering encounters with religious buffoons, and an impressive collection of pedagogues specializing in violent corporal punishment capture the earthy essence of a world now largely disappeared.

Worked well with us!
Scent: Citrus, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been trying different products for my daughter’s eczema-prone skin. Her skin was getting really dry, irritated, and rough in certain spots, and this balm has been super moisturizing and soothing. I love that it’s made with simple, natural ingredients and doesn’t feel harsh on her sensitive skin. A little goes a long way, and we’ve noticed her skin staying softer and less irritated after using it consistently. Definitely one of the better products we’ve tried lately 💛

Bang for your buck

Incredible bang for your buck! Has kept my wife and I’s skin hydrated and has brought a lot of nice color and even smoothed out some dark spots. It’s fragrance free which is awesome for sensitive skin. And it’s easy to use! Make sure you keep it in a cool place cause it can melt! Fantastic product will continue to buy this

Natural remedy for treating keratosis pilaris (KP).
Scent: Unscented, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The most pleasant surprise about this tallow balm is that it’s a very effective natural remedy for treating keratosis pilaris (KP). It’s intense moisturizing properties help smooth the "chicken skin" bumps and reduce redness. It’s a natural alternative to conventional lotions by nourishing the skin barrier without harsh chemicals. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the skin texture on the back of my upper arms after rubbing it in. My skin looks and feels much improved when I use it and hopefully will continue to improve over time with continuall use! If you have not found an all natural product to help smooth and reduce KP bumps give this tallow balm a try!
