Pre-order: Faith, Family, and Forestry

The Kern River Valley Historical Society’s newest book, Faith, Family, and Forestry: The Story of Bob Powers – Cattleman and Accidental Historian is now available for pre-order.
This long-awaited biography of local luminary Bob Powers will be released in early February. The book chronicles Bob’s life as a fifth-generation Kern Valley resident from early childhood until his death in 2002.
Marge Powers made available to the authors the entire archive of materials Bob collected over his life, in addition to both of their unpublished autobiographies.
The authors also conducted numerous interviews with locals who knew Bob, and a collection of over 500 photographs was also tapped to add richness to their story.
The book will surely be a wonderful addition to any library containing Bob’s nine books on Valley history.
As a reward for pre-ordering, each pre-ordered book will feature a beautiful numbered bookplate. Of course, each book will also be signed by the authors.
