Deeply moved by his mother's memories of a waning era and rapidly disappearing lifestyle, the author recorded the adventures and adversities of his family and boyhood neighbors who were the early homesteaders of Osborne County Kansas during the dynamic period from the 1870s to the turn of the century. This book abounds with the events and issues- fires and droughts, parties and picnics, insect infestations and bumper crops, prosperity and poverty, divisiveness and generosity, births and deaths- that shaped the loves and destinies of Henry and Rosa Ise, their family and their community. A clean very presentable copy.
