First published in 1935, Old Jules is unquestionably Mari Sandoz's masterpiece. This portrait of her pioneer father grew out of the silent hours of listening behind the stove or the wood box, when it was assumed, of course, that I was asleep in bed.

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.
