This review is from: Whoa You Donkey . . . Whoa! (Paperback)
A series of short stories linked chronologically about a modern day lady prospector and her donkeys, mining and treasure hunting from Alaska to the Mexico border. Misadventures with characters like Soapy the mine dog, Klondike Mike, Texas Jack, and Sandilee the biologist. Great reading material for bathroom or outhouse.

This review is from: Whoa You Donkey . . . Whoa! (Paperback)
I enjoyed this dabbling tale of the adventures of a woman and her donkeys out on mining expeditions. What a great career option for an adventurous soul. I enjoyed her stories of life on the trail.
If you love donkeys and love a woman who is cutting her own path in the world...be inspired by this book. I bought a second one to gift to a friend.
