Family memoir tops the list of best books
"Bailing Wire and Gamuza" was written by 84-year-old widow and retired ranch
girl
Barbara Vogt Mallery. It took Mallery 14 years, using her father's voluminous
files, including one labeled "For the book I plan to write," to finish the
book.
The result is a poignant, honest re-collection of how it was to grow up on a
small, hardscrabble ranch in the early 20th century in northwest New Mexico,
where baling wire and gamuza were the equivalent of modern-day duct tape.
