Publisher's Synopsis
Pen Pictures of the Plains is a collection of essays written by Sarah Elizabeth Howard, a journalist and writer who lived in the American Midwest during the late 19th century. The book offers a vivid and detailed portrait of life on the Great Plains, capturing the beauty, challenges, and unique culture of this vast and often misunderstood region. Howard's essays cover a wide range of topics, from the natural landscape and wildlife to the people and communities that call the Plains home. She writes about the struggles of settlers and farmers, the impact of the railroad on the region, and the changing face of the Plains as it becomes more industrialized. Throughout the book, Howard's prose is lyrical and evocative, painting a picture of a place that is both harsh and beautiful, a place where resilience and determination are the keys to survival. Pen Pictures of the Plains is a timeless work that offers readers a glimpse into a world that has long since passed, but whose legacy continues to shape the American West today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
