Of the fights with the cattlemen and the sheepmen, of the tragic scarcity of women, when a man had to 'marry anything that got off the train, ' of the droughts, the storms, the wind, and isolation. But the most impressive stories were those told to me by Old Jules himself.

This is an excellent book on the life of a man, all the problems of starting a life in the pioneer days. How hard it was to get a farm started how hard it was to do anything. From starting to first plow the ground to trying to feed your family, or cloth them. I would recommend this book to everyone. I loved it.
