Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than pledging allegiance to the military effort as dictated by Prussian law in 1867, many devout Anabaptists deemed it prudent to become pioneers in Kansas. The year was 1876 and odd numbered sections of railroad land were being marketed by the Santa Fe across Kansas. Towns developed around train depots; local shopping became available. Marie Harder Epp was born in America to these relocated Anabaptists. She was a Kansas Mennonite farmer and also the village poet. Her poems, written for oral delivery, tell the story of life in Holland and West Prussia following the Reformation, the relocation to Kansas, and the creation of a church community on the tall grass prairies. A church was organized to focus these hard-working Germans on divine realities as they buried their dead, married their young, and dealt with the harsh prairie winds. Marie's poems also describe the changeover from buggies to cars, from German to English, and from isolation to global outreach. With time, the Anabaptists learned through cultural adaptation that they could be both staunch Mennonites and also patriotic Americans.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sunflowers: A Book of Kansas Poems To the peopl'e. Of Kansas I dedicate the labor of five years; not mine alone, but that of a group of friends who have equally given of their time to this little volume. At first, my only intention was to collect the lyric verse of living Kansas writers; but as the conception grew, it seemed possible to include the work of earlier men and women who had sensed the significance of our state - and the relatives of those early authors have added their assistance to that of my other friends.
