An accurate and engrossing history about the pioneers who settled Iowa, focusing around the life and times of one family. The family is based upon the author's own grandfather and aunts and their stories. This book movingly draws you in with the history of pioneers clearing virgin land and creating homesteads and cities out of isolated but beautiful and productive land. The settlers face Indians, burgeoning politics, the Civil War...not to mention loves, losses, personal choices, and the daily ins and outs of living one's life in a new civilization.
