Abstract
Abstract:
This longitudinal study of three successful homesteader families in Marshall County, Kansas, from 1870 to the present, is based on both archival research and the author's family's stories. By surveying two to four generations for each of the three homesteader families, the study presents three different patterns for the experience of successful homesteader families and their descendants, as well as specific examples for some of the conclusions in Homesteading the Plains: Toward a New History (2017) by Richard Edwards, Jacob K. Friefeld, and Rebecca S. Wingo.
