Harry Saxey's Third Grade Reader is very old. It is dark maroon. It has a fancy design on the binding, front and back cover. It was used in the China Flat School. Harry Saxey also wrote words in it like "spring". The book was compiled by the state of California. It was probably published in 1906.

Harry used the reader book when he attended the China Flat School. He was Saxey's son and about 10-12 years old. He was Tsnungwe and was born and lived on the Saxey Ranch on the South Fork of the Trinity River.

He attended China Flat and Forest schools. Both were located in Willow Creek. When Harry Saxey was older, he served in the Army during World War 1. Harry Saxey's family loaned this Reader to the Willow Creek China Flat Museum.
