Bøger af Ruth M. Sherwood

The life of a homesteading family in northeastern Montana is captured vividly in this poignant and revealing memoir. Never shrinking from the reality of hardships faced and tragedies overcome, the story of Ruth Sherwood's family and their Montana experience includes an extraordinary cast of characters and more than one mystery. A blizzard howled across Montana's high plains, down the Milk River Valley, and into the small railroad town of Hinsdale the day Ruth Sherwood was born there in 1940. Much of Ruth's childhood was spent on farms along the Milk River near Hinsdale and Glasgow, Montana. Ruth grew up with rich stories of homesteading from her parents and family friends who her parents had known when homesteading in northern Valley County, Montana. In Ruth's later years, she spent time reflecting upon her unique past. The story of her family's farm life and her parents' homesteading lives in Montana are retold in this book.
