Synopsis
On a Wisconsin Family Farm flings the barn doors wide open to a cast of characters that built America's Dairyland. A maternal maverick, Anna Satorie, went against cultural norms and became the sole owner of her family's homestead in 1905. The next year, Anna married John Burich, and the couple went about building a thrifty family farm. Pioneer life was fraught with trials and tribulations as polio and tuberculosis claimed loved ones and the fabricated death of a bootlegging brother turned gangsters away from the farm. Neighbors pitched in as members of the immigrant class aided one another to construct farmsteads and support one another through unsanctioned bank loans, daring dynamite work and barn raisings. Leaving work aside, this community also threw parties met by the rooster's early-dawn crow. Corey Geiger, international agricultural journalist, pairs his rural roots and lively storytelling talents to capture six generations of local tales., Based on Corey Geiger's popular Homesteader's Hope column, On a Wisconsin Family Farm flings the barn doors wide open to a cast of characters who built America's Dairyland. In 1905, twenty-eight-year-old Anna Satorie, granddaughter of Bohemian immigrants, went against cultural norms and became the sole owner of her family's homestead when she purchased the farm from her father. The next year, Anna married neighboring farmer John Burich, also of Bohemian extraction, and the couple went about building a thrifty family farm. But pioneer life was fraught with trials and tribulations. Polio and tuberculosis claimed loved ones, and the difficulties of Prohibition forced the family to fabricate the death of John's bootlegging brother to keep gangsters away from the farm. Neighbors pitched in as fellow immigrant families helped construct farmsteads and support one another through unsanctioned bank loans, daring dynamite work, and barn raisings. Leaving work aside, this vibrant community also threw parties met by the rooster's early-dawn crow. Pairing his rural roots with lively storytelling, Geiger captures six generations of farming, family, and faith., On a Wisconsin Family Farm flings the barn doors wide open to a cast of characters that built America's Dairyland.

    These volumes arrived early in great good condition. The seller was quick in response to my question and combined shipping for me. I have never seen such care taken in packing . This seller is clearly a bibliophile. These two books were an exceptional value, particularly considering their scarcity. Their overall appearance and quality were exactly as promised. I could not be happier and recommend this seller without question!

    I made a mistake with my shipping address and Ebay doesn't have a feature whereby to correct it. One must contact the seller instead and rectify it. In my case, this seller was easy to message and was prompt with the replies. The seller corrected the shipping address and the delivery was much faster than expected. A professional. Delighted with my purchase and how smoothly the initial error on my part was corrected.
