Drawing on newspapers, account books, and reminiscences, the author of the prize-winning Women and Men on the Overland Trail vividly portrays the lives of the prairie's inhabitants--Indians, pioneers, farming men and women--and adds a compelling new chapter to American social history."Every chapter, almost every page, contains new ideas or throws new light on old ones, by means of a wealth of detail and clarity of though which brings the past alive again."--Hugh Brogan, The Times Literary Supplement"Here, succinctly set out, is the American prairie experience."--Publishers Weekly
