Albert Coryer, the grandson of a fur trade voyageur-turned-farmer, had a gift for storytelling. Born in 1877, he grew up in Prairie du Chien hearing tales of days gone by from his parents, grandparents, and neighbors who lived in the Frenchtown area. Throughout his life, Albert soaked up the local oral traditions, including narratives about early residents, local landmarks, interesting and funny events, ethnic customs, myths, and folklore. Late in life, this lively man who had worked as a farm laborer and janitor drew a detailed illustrated map of the Prairie du Chien area and began to write his stories out longhand, in addition to sharing them in an interview with a local historian and folklore scholar. The map, stories, and interview transcript provide a colorful account of Prairie du Chien in the late nineteenth century, when it was undergoing significant demographic, social, and economic change. With sharp historical context provided by editors Lucy Eldersveld Murphy and Mary Elise Antoine, Coryer’s tales offer an unparalleled window into the ethnic community comprised of the old fur trade families, Native Americans, French Canadian farmers, and their descendants.

From her early 1900s perch on the roof of her North Dakota farmhouse, young Myrtle Anderson watched the billowing steam of a distant eastbound locomotive rise into the sky. She wondered over whether she too might one day set off on that train, whether she too might in some way come to be part of that big metropolis - Minneapolis! Myrtle's father was a homesteading immigrant from Sweden. After her mother's early death (Myrtle was 12), Myrtle takes over the household chores and agrees to care for her younger brothers - in between pitching in on the great many chores needing doing on the farm. Some years later she falls in love with a young man from Minneapolis, visiting his aunt on a neighboring farm. Eventually, the two agree to elope, but only after Myrtle puts in another year on the farm - just so that she might keep her word, fulfill her promise to tend to those brothers of hers! Myrtle Sederberg's charming memoir not only tells the story of a farm girl's transition to city life, but also offers up a picture of the lives of early plains pioneers, together with a detailed account of America's frontier prairie days, especially those of the late 1800s. Equally compelling is the portrait she paints of Americans of the day - their great anticipation of, and investment in, "progress" - the animated energy moving forward all things in early Twentieth Century American life. But beyond the specifics of her life, Myrtle's anecdotes, tales, poems, songs, stories, and remembrances serve up a wonderful boost of optimism. They sound a spirited call to hard work, compassion, faith, family, constructive behavior, setting out goals and maintaining values, all the while exhibiting that ephemeral, forever decorous quality of hers - grace.

Lois Phillips Hudson is recognized as a major chronicler of America's agricultural heartland during the grim years of the Great Depression. Reapers of the Dust, now reprinted for a new generation of readers, vividly evokes that difficult time. From Hudson's childhood in North Dakota spring these unusual, moving stories of simple, joyful days, of continuing battles with hostile elements, and of a family's new life as migrant workers on the West Coast. "Hudson writes with grace and beauty and an abiding understanding of the meaning of those bitter, tragic years."--Chicago Tribune "These tales are to 'discomfit civilization,' in the tradition of personal accounts of the settling of the West by such writers as Mari Sandoz, Wallace Stegner, and Walter Van Tilburg Clark."--The Nation

Though orchestrated as a historical novel, Nora Fladeboe Mohberg's family memoir, Agata's Journey West, is an entirely charming and affectionate book tracing the life journey of Agata, a 19th Century Norwegian farm girl. The story begins with newlywed Agata's boat arrival at an expansive family farm tucked deep in a Norwegian fjord. There she sets up her first home, and in doing so innocently sets in motion a soon to be challenging sequence of life adventures. Eventually, Agata and her husband leave Flatabo with their growing family, joining as they do a boatload of other spirited souls setting off on a journey to the New World. Before setting sail, and all along the way, the voyagers are excited to imagine and offer up opinions as to the storied stretches of free land they've heard tell of on the other side of the sea, homesteads available to anyone willing to settle and help develop America's sprawling plains and prairie. The long sea voyage turns into another demanding journey, this one by way of North American rivers and lakes, only to be followed by extended treks across the plains in long wagon trains. Move after move, Agata surveys the challenges awaiting her in each new-to-come home, time after time pitching in to make the place live up to what she aspires to in her imagination. And never does Agata let fall her principal preoccupation - lovingly nurturing her ever-growing family. The book is about survival amidst blistering storms and icy winds, living with injuries and pestilence and prairie fires - at first in the lakes and forests of Minnesota, and then again on the treeless, windswept plains of the Dakotas. It is a story about pluck and persistence, about people keeping their wits about them when beset by adversity, about maintaining a sense of faith in something far larger than they, but more importantly in themselves. By the time the book ends, Agata is living in a Dakota farmhouse, within reach of the region's multiplying railroads, with their distant eastbound locomotives spewing smoke into the sky. As part of its Plains and Prairie Chronicles, Mead-Hill is pleased to present Ms. Mohberg's charming memoir/novel with its bubbling portrayal of the challenging lives lived by early plains pioneers, and its highly detailed account of America frontier prairie days, especially those of the late 1800s. Equally compelling is the portrait Ms. Mohberg paints of the new Americans of the day - their great anticipation of an always better life ahead, their great investment in the continent's animated energy in its endless surge westward. But beyond the specifics of Agata's life, Ms. Mohberg's anecdotes, tales, stories, and sourced remembrances set out an inspiring helping of optimism. They sound a spirited call to hard work, compassion, faith, family, and constructive behavior: setting forth goals, maintaining values, and all the while exhibiting that ephemeral, forever decorous quality of hers - and Agata's - grace.
