From the Book Jacket:
For all
the thousands of girls who have ever
said, "I wanna go back to Camp
DeSoto," sit down, put your feet up
and read to your heart's content!
Hear rich, early tales of DeSoto:
its origins as a boys' camp and its
evolution and journey towards
becoming the girls' camp that so
many know and love. Relive the
beginnings of many DeSoto traditions
and experience countless snapshots
of God's loving provision in making
this place His own.
Read of Bess and Brad
- DeSoto's early, legendary, owners
- as well as Sue, Phil and Marsha,
and how each has become a beloved
part of life on "The Mountain".
Written by Brad's
daughter, Norma Bradshaw Flora, and
granddaughter, Norma Flora Cox, this
book is a treasure trove of stories,
adventures and memories from many
former Camp DeSoto campers,
counselors and friends. The
authors revisit the day-to-day
delights of camp life with
recollections of favorite
counselors, old songs, carefree days
of peanut butter and honey and maybe
even tales of escapades some would
rather have forgotten! Given
their intimate acquaintance with
Brad and Camp, the authors have a
unique perspective into what has
made DeSoto such a legendary place
of love. Their access to
anecdotes, rare photos and, until
now, many untold stores, will take
this book straight into the heart of
every Camp DeSoto girl as well as
those honorary Camp DeSoto friends.
Every camp owner
since Bess and Brad has believed that DeSoto was not theirs but God's, and
their first priority has been to
bring glory to Him; all the while,
never forgetting Brad's constant
declaration that "Camp is supposed
to be wonderful, wonderful fun!"
Come journey
through the years, alongside the
people who have inhabited this place
-- past, present and future!
Let fond memories of DeSoto days
return, realizing anew the truths
that this wonderful Camp represents.
