Book - "Homestead Fever" by Marie Kramer

Homestead Fever
Kramer, Marie, Krysl, Judy (Illustrator)
ISBN: 0963752510

Review: Know Nebraska Pioneers as if they are your neighbors. Interviews with dozens of "old timers" are written into easily read short personal stories. Earliest accounts are in the 1800's, and final stories are of the 1930's. The author's clear purpose is to save the stories of Nebraska pioneers for their descendents. However, the stories of immigration and settlement compound to give anyone new insight into North Central Nebraska in the first third of the 20th Century. 187 photos and 9 ink drawings help with understandings of fashion, mechanical devices, and characters in the accounts.
