Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It was a flowing emerald in spring and summer when the boundless winds ran across it, a tawny ocean under the winds of autumn, and a stark and painful emptiness when the great long winds drove in from the northwest. It was Beulahland for many; Gehenna for some. It was the tall prairie.”—from the “Prologue” Originally published in 1982, Where the Sky Began, John Madson’s landmark publication, introduced readers across the nation to the wonders of the tallgrass prairie, sparking the current interest in prairie restoration. Now back in print, this classic tome will serve as inspiration to those just learning about the heartland’s native landscape and rekindle the passion of long-time prairie enthusiasts.

Download or read book Gentlemen on the Prairie written by Curtis Harnack and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2011-05-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1880s, the well-connected young Englishman William B. Close and his three brothers, having bought thousands of acres of northwest Iowa prairie, conceived the idea of enticing sons of Britain’s upper classes to pursue the life of the landed gentry on these fertile acres. “Yesterday a wilderness, today an empire”: their bizarre experiment, which created a colony for people “of the better class” who were not in line to inherit land but whose fathers would set them up in farming, flourished in Le Mars, Iowa (and later in Pipestone, Minnesota), with over five hundred youths having a go at farming. In Gentlemen on the Prairie, Curtis Harnack tells the remarkable story of this quite unusual chapter in the settling of the Midwest. Many of these immigrants had no interest in American citizenship but enjoyed or endured the challenging adventure of remaining part of the empire while stranded on the plains. They didn’t mix socially with other Le Mars area residents but enjoyed such sports as horse racing, fox hunts, polo, and an annual derby followed by a glittering grand ball. Their pubs were named the House of Lords, the House of Commons, and Windsor Castle; the Prairie Club was a replica of a London gentlemen’s club, an opera house attracted traveling shows, and their principal hotel was Albion House. In St. George’s Episcopal Church, prayers were offered for the well-being of Queen Victoria. Problems soon surfaced, however, even for these well-heeled aristocrats. The chief problem was farm labor; there was no native population to exploit, and immigrant workers soon bought their own land. Although sisters might visit the colonists and sometimes marry one of them, appropriate female companionship was scarce. The climate was brutal in its extremes, and many colonists soon sold their acres at a profit and moved to countries affiliated with Britain. When the financial depression in the early 1890s lowered land values and made agriculture less profitable, the colony collapsed. Harnack skillfully draws upon the founder’s “Prairie Journal,” company ledgers, and other records to create an engaging, engrossing story of this quixotic pioneering experiment. f

Download or read book The Passing of the Prairie by a Fossil written by Nehemias Tjernagel and published by . This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three major themes-immigration, pioneering, and preservation of the Union-provide unity for the biographical sketches in this book. There is also sufficient diversity to sustain interest. One does not have to read far to realize that female perspectives provide authenticity at every significant turn of the story. That story involves the people who, during the middle years of the nineteenth century, transformed the virgin prairie of central Iowa into farms that now feed the world. The first wave of pioneers tended to be Yankees who settled near the rivers, many of whom moved on with the advancing frontier. Then came the foreigners, most of them west coast Norwegians who started coming to Iowa in the mid 1850s via Illinois and stayed put. Many of the biographies are about these Norwegian families and how they learned to be Americans while building cabins, breaking sod, having children, and founding schools and churches. While the frontier process was still playing out, the institution of slavery and the election of Abraham Lincoln disrupted the American democracy. Central Iowans of all backgrounds rallied to the president's call to arms. Some of the biographies are about people who came to the United States from Norway, carved farms out of the prairie, and made sacrifices at the front and at home to preserve the Union. Some of the best sections are about the interactions of people of diverse backgrounds while going through similar experiences. The goal here is to present Nehemias Tjernagel's biographies accurately and in a format that people of the twenty-first century will find readable and informative.
