Book excerpt: THE FIVE FOSTERS is a collection of childhood memories of five children raised by a Texas cowboy and ranch life as it was back in the thirties, forties and early fifties when clothes were washed on the rub board, people used outhouses and there was no indoor plumbing or electricity. Most of the book takes place on the San Pedro River at what is now known as the San Pedro House. Back then it was called the Wolf Place and was part of the Boquillas Land and Cattle Company. There are stories of cowboys, roundup, horses, ranch life and kids. The Wolf Place is now owned and managed by the Bureau of Land Management. It has been renamed the San Pedro House and is open to the public.
