The Sodbreakers: People Who Lived and Died Settling the West

by Edith Eudora Ammons Kohl, Clifford T. Ammons (Introduction)

Cliff Ammons, Edith Kohl's nephew, presents her unique trilogy that describes the settling of America's West. "Land of the Burnt Thigh" is the first book in her series entitled, "Conquers of the Wild West - Edith Kohl's Trilogy." This book is followed by two other original manuscripts written by Edith Kohl, "The Sodbreakers," and "Woman of the Cavalcade." All three manuscripts were only recently discovered by Cliff in an old, ratty-looking suitcase! Now, all three are now published for the very first time ever on Amazon.com. Edith recorded the historic events from personal experience because she was part of it - she lived it! Her craft of words paints vivid images of what she experienced as she describes the sights, sounds and events. She does this so well, it allows readers - several lifetimes later - to better understand and appreciate the harsh realities of how America's West was settled. Each of her books gives readers a unique "peek behind the curtain" as Edith describes the people and exciting, sometimes tragic, events as they unfolded. Reading her books is like hearing her voice tell us these remarkable true stories.
