Kohl's work is a collection of early 20th century homesteading accounts, describing the experiences of her sister and herself. The same dramatic events -- land rushes, blizzards, prairie fires -- as in all the other versions of homesteader stories are told new somehow this time, perhaps because Kohl adds a subtle political dimension that most other writers weren't even aware of. Fully illustrated.
