Book description
Under the Stars is the amazing autobiography of Edward Thomas Whittingham Tepper, Oregon's wizard of the woods. An eighth-grade dropout at 13, Tom and his father came homesteading in Oregon in the early 1900s, and since then he has been a buckaroo, rodeo rider, and horse trainer; pioneer aviator and flight instructor in the infant Army Air Corps; crop duster, commercial fisherman, designer and creator of silver jewelry and bridle bits; wood carver and the man behind Tepper Music Wood. His story captures the dramatic changes that the American West went through in the twentieth century, from the perspective of an American original.
