Pioneer Potpourri

A collection of true stories told by the hearty Midwest families that lived through them when life was hard and living was even harder.

Crossing a Great Lakes passage in a rowboat, toting a heavy grindstone over rugged terrain, a pony express rider disabled by an Indian arrow, all this and more help to carry you into the world of early settlers in the Midwest. All presented in the local vernacular. A must read for anyone with an interest in pioneer life.
