Hope Amid Hardship - Pioneer Voices From Kansas Territory

Informationen zum Autor By Linda Johnston Klappentext Why did they stay?  Despite the challenges of loneliness, drought, and political turmoil Kansas pioneers faced, many found and wrote about joy and beauty in their adopted communities.   Letters and diaries describe the times that gave them reason to sing, dance, and celebrate – moments when their burdens were lighter.  This volume brings together reflections of 50 individuals of different ages, backgrounds, and outlooks who helped shape the identity of the Sunflower State.
