one heck of a book

This book was written by my great grandma. It shows how life was for her growing up. I have heard a lot about many of the stories in the book and i never tire of them. I recamend this book because it is well written and the author is not well known but will always be in my heart

Days were long on the prairie in the early 1900's.

An excellent account of life from the generations not so distant behind us. The author is also my Grandmother, her oldest daughter is my Mother. I have never met anyone who is so forgiving as this woman and since she was not a gossip, I had no idea of some of her less attractive memories, such as when they moved and the relatives came to the end of their driveway but would not talk to them. Grandma Geneva worked hard from the time she was young, but it was never more apparent than from her hilltop home where she raised and sold iris, the same home in which she died. Everyone should be so lucky as to have this information to pass on to their offspring. This book was a little hard to get through because it is written like a journal, however, a movie could be made due to the detail of her day to day life.

A great account of life on the prairie of the United States.

I enjoyed this book very much because it is my Grandma Wilson whowrote it. I have heard all of these stories many, many times throughout my life. Grandma believed in family history and the importance of knowing where you came from and the people that made you who you are. I do think her story shows how harsh life could be, but also, how people made the very best of it and "rolled with the punches".
