Lotta Crabtree: Gold Rush Fairy Star

Lotta Crabtree: Gold Rush Fairy Star by Lois V. Harris, 80 pages

Lotta had an interesting childhood, performing for miners during the California gold rush.  When I was a child I read a biography about her but there was a lot left out, like the fact that her mother basically was in charge of the family and that her father was an alcoholic.  The book I read focused more on her childhood and didn’t have as much information about her performing life after her childhood performances.  This was an interesting recounting of her life that older kids who like biographies will enjoy.
