Описание:
Vivid recreation of the life and times of the western homestead era, the period from about 1885 when the prairie lands lying west of the longitude of the western Dakotas became avialable to pioneering farmers. More than 70 black-and-white duotone photographs, with detailed captions, record bleak landscapes and abandoned farms, outbuildings, farm implements, and hand tools - mute testimonies to the failed hopes of several million families who settled on these arid and semi-arid lands.Похожие книги
