Price: $19.99

A chance to experience the unfolding of the twentieth century as lived by Sargent’s parents, the Norwegian and the Honyocker, who struggle through decades of phenomenal change on a dry-land Montana ranch. Raising sheep, farming with horse-drawn machinery, facing sickness and death, dealing with cantankerous animals, braving blizzards, coping with dust and drought, then bogging down in the gumbo, they endure all of the pathos and rejoice in the profound satisfactions that reward their steadfast efforts to survive. During the terrible drought and depression of the 1930s, many western ranch families abandoned the land, but for those who stuck it out, exceptional inner strength emerged. Though they sacrificed deeply, and worked harder than anyone today can imagine, they also found ways to laugh, to have fun, to raise happy, healthy children, and to live their values of honesty, fairness, trust, and thrift.

By Montana author Jim Sargent. 268 pages with black and white photographs. Signed by author on title page. 5½” x 8¼”. Softcover.
