Note: We are sorry to report that the printing facilities and warehouse of Naturegraph Publishers, of Happy Camp California was destroyed by the Slater Fire in September 2020. a huge fire that also burned 156,000 acres in the Siskiyou mountains. Pretty sad situation for a publisher and printer of nature and native American titles for 75 years and making a going business in a very small and very isolated northern California town. Hopefully many of their titles like Dear Mad’m will become available in some form in the future. Dear Mad’m By Stella Walthall Patterson chronicles the adventures of a woman who at the age of eighty found a new life in the wilds of the Siskiyou Mountains near Happy Camp, California. Originally published in 1956, this is a well loved story and a perfect gift for those of us getting a little older and wiser or those wanting to know what it was like to homestead in the Siskiyou-Klamath Bio region! . “Her youthful spirit shines through every page…. a Charming book”- New York Times Book Review . “A book for all senior citizens and for those who are heading in that direction”- San Francisco Chronicle . “Bright and Refreshing…. adventures reported with zest and candor.” – Christian Science Monitor . Published by Naturgraph Books of Happy Camp California who have been publishing books on natural history, native Americans, and outdoor subjects since 1946.
