On the Trail by A. J. Petrowske Many a story could be told of the stouthearted people who, by their daily deeds, wrote the history of America’s homestead era. This was a time of rugged individualism, of freedom and true independence. Of such a time and of such a people would I like to tell, especially of two whose names are Fred and Antonia—their times and lives—and of their families and friends whom we shall meet along the way. It is my desire that this bit of history should not vanish, and also that in reading these lines one might gain a sense of the experience of one’s own ancestors who may have passed through a similar time. |
