About The Author

Marilyn Hoegemeyer is standing in 20 acres of never-plowed prairie land, part of her great-grandfather's 1870 homestead in northeastern Nebraska. This book is a collection of her memories growing up in the 1940s and 1950s on the family's nearby corn-breeding farm and attending a one-room country school. She still loves the sweet smell of prairie hay.

"The land belongs to the future...We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it - for a little while."

Nebraska Author, Willa Cather, "O Pioneers!"
