Mother and babe.
These stories include: the covered wagon
trip from Missouri to Kansas and living in a sod house, her twenty-four
years of childbearing which brought seventeen children into the
world, of which only two babies failed to thrive,
the grasshopper plague of 1874 as well as Annas fear of
angry Indians. Her children provided stories of tragedy and humor.
The prosperity achieved by this remarkable family against all
odds is inspiring.
