Great story that follows three generations of a Wisconsin Farm Family thru three wars and the Great Depression. Rich in detail, it captures the essence of life in Wisconsin in the early 20th century.

Truly a great read

Having grown up in the region where the book is written about, I found myself being transformed and reliving my adolescent years through the book.

The author does an awesome job of first person story telling, helping you see the world through each of the characters eyes.

Following 3 generations on a family farm there's stories about love tragedy and how the farm works. They're all great stories although a little bit slow to get into the book. I would say the best part is the 3rd part when it's the grandsons turn to tell his life story.
