Von der hinteren Coverseite:
Homesteading chronicles the Wollaston family's attempt to carve a successful homestead out of the harsh plains around Ismay, Montana, in the period from 1910 to the late 1920's. Beginning with their move west from the Dakotas, the book continues through World War I and the onset of Prohibition to the poignant first signs of the town's demise in the early Depression years. From the workaday details of life - the construction of a house, trapping and hunting, courtships and funerals, saloons and banks, local cowboys and ranchers - to the increasingly tangible signs of the outside world - county extension agents, new roads, the sinking of the Titanic, World War I - Homesteading is a rich and detailed look at the forces that influenced the growing towns of the American West. (6 1/4 X 9 1/4, 156 pages, b&w photos)
