This is her story. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1908, at the age of eleven, Helen moved with her family to what would later become Jim Hogg County. Shaped by her rugged environment, she worked with her father in the field doing a man's work for three years, without benefit of schools, churches, or medical attention. Then, filled with desire for an education, she began to acquire an unorthodox, haphazard one that eventually led to college. She tutored children, taught school for a time, and served as county\/district clerk. Then she met and married Texas Ranger, later sheriff, Pell Harbison. On the ranch they bought near Hebbronville, they raised six children and shared a life of challenge, growth, and stubborn hard work. After her husband's death, Helen Harbison herself ran the ranch for thirty more years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHolland provides an accurate picture of life in South Texas in the first half of this century and a fascinating portrait of a woman of the Texas brush who was determined, independent, and capable in an age when women were not expected to be.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 1988\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52446263476531,"sku":"9780890969786","price":37.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/VWFQUlI5SEhGc2wyNGZkc09zY2g5UT09.webp?v=1758981451","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/brush-country-woman-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
