Produktbeschreibung

An absorbing account of second-generation German immigrants who remained in rather than left Depression-era South Dakota despite bleak prospects for their late-nineteenth-century homesteadHomesteading and Moving On conveys one womans memory of how, in its modest, devoted way, her family surmounted obstacles and, over nine decades, flourished nationwide, bolstered by faith, love, and mutual respect. Helen Kurtenbach Furrs recollections of her rural prairie childhood and subsequent travels throughout America demonstrate how documenting well-lived lives creates linkage and tribute. She wants future family generations to know their heritage, and she hopes theyll recognize why understanding and appreciation are so important.

Autorenporträt

Helen Kurtenbach Furr was born in 1929 and grew up in the farming community of Dimock, South Dakota, in the southeastern corner of the state. She married Allan "Doc" Furr in 1950, and they had two children. During Doc's career as a veterinarian in private practice and as a US government employee, the family moved across the United States-from north to south and west to east-a total of sixteen times in thirty-five years. Doc died in 2004. Helen now resides in a retirement village in Carlsbad, New Mexico. Homesteading and Moving On is her first book.
