Listen To The Quiet

By Helen DePuydt

For Otto Kientz, the "land of opportunity" meant the vast prairie land of Montana. The year was 1913, when Otto left his home and new bride in Minnesota to scout the area north of Saco, Montana for homestead property made available by The Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909. A local man told him at the time of land selection, "...you'll never be sorry for settling here - it's a healthy climate and the people are healthy too." The Kientz family did indeed live a long good life on their homestead. They even maintained the "old way" of doing things far after modern amenities were made available. The family lived with no electricity, no plumbing, no phone nor car, well into the 1970s in a place where one's neighbors were several miles away. A place where one could truly listen to the quiet. This is the true story of life on the Kientz homestead as told by the Kientz family to neighbor and friend Helen DePuydt.
