West Virginia’s Oracle

The book West Virginia Oracle was written under the pen name Beck Biggs by Rebecca L. Boggs. It is her true story of growing up in her family in the hills of West Virginia beginning in 1900. Rebecca was born June 11, 1900 and she describes the many experiences related to her family’s difficulties as the family deals with the hardships of poverty and illness. Her father, a circuit riding minister, her devoted mother and she and her twelve brothers and sisters worked tirelessly to keep the family always in food and clothing and with a positive religious belief that God would provide.
