The red coffee can;: Poems and stories of the unique spirit of a San Joaquin Valley people

These poems and stories are pieces cut out of the pie that is my life, made up of ingredients that are pecuiary mine... While The Red Coffee Can is a richly individual interpretation of San Joaquin Valley Life, it is at the same time a warmly perceptive look at the group of individuals who fled to the valley during the Dust Bowl of the 1930's. Miss McDaniel, herself a Dust Bowl escapee, has drawn with compassion several slices of life about the people who brought a uniqueness of spirit to Tulare, Visalia, Fresno, Merced, Los Banos and the rest of the Valley.
