These Memoirs Are A History Of Pioneering Siblings Orphaned By A Murder/Suicide Who Settled Virgin Prairie To Build An International Cattle Empire Only To Lose It In The Great Depression. It Is Also A Story Of Courage, Faith, Determination And Family Values As One Family Struggles To Keep Their Home And The Land They Tamed. It Is Not Heroic, It Is Every Day Life. It Is About A Family Struggling With The Realities Of Life While Dreaming Of A Better Future. Rich Only In The Blessings Of Life In America, Solid Values And Devoted Family They Had All The Things That Money Couldn'T Buy And Through It All, One Man Who Was "So Damn Grateful". Written From The Perspective Of An Iowa Farmer Who Was Born And Lived On The Same Land For 92 Years, This Is A History Tempered By 368 Change Of Seasons, World Wars, A Great Depression And Technology Advances That Have Rocked The Very Foundations Of Our World. But Most Of All, 92 Years Of Working With And Sometimes Battling Mother Nature Tempered By Family, Friends And God. That Makes This Not So Much A History Of A Family As A Way Of Life.
