A true look at the struggle to make a living on the prairie.

These days many people idolize the life on the prairie as "life in the slow lane" The Thresher shows the determination and brutality of purpose that it takes to make a living on the prairie. It shows the struggle to adapt to changing technology as horses were replaced with steam powered threshers at the turn of the century. This book also tells of the dangers of farm work and the effect of the fear of injury has on women. My only reservation about the book is the over use of forshadowing.
