Book Synopsis Plains Folk II by : James F. Hoy
Download or read book Plains Folk II written by James F. Hoy. This book was released on 1990-06-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If it is true that a region is defined by its people and their culture, then Jim Hoy and Tom Isern have taken a second giant step in defining the Great Plains. Plains Folk II: The Romance of the Landscape continues that story. As in the first volume, Plains Folk: A Commonplace of the Great Plains, the authors write about hardy plains dwellers--a rare breed who feel out of place anywhere except on the prairie--and their cultural heritage, derived from many countries in both the Old World and the New. Here are stories about plains folklore, animals, food, lifestyles, and artifacts in a land of buttermilk and blabs, Bigfoot and bindweed. Sharing their experiences of the plains region, Hoy and Isern convey their sense of place and their affection for the area. They see beauty in landscapes that others, used to mountains or forests, deem barren. They look beyond the seemingly flat surface into the lives and culture of those who turned the Great American Desert into the Garden of the World.

Book Synopsis Plain Folk by : David M. Katzman
Download or read book Plain Folk written by David M. Katzman. This book was released on 1982. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plain Folk depicts both the ordinary occupations and ethnic and racial diversity of America at the turn of the century. Katzman and Tuttle have drawn upon 75 brief autobiographies or "lifelets" of working-class Americans published between 1902 and 1906 in The Independent magazine. Among the seventeen life stories included here are those of a Lithuanian stockyards worker in Chicago, a Polish sweatshop girl and a Chinese merchant in New York City, a black peon in rural Georgia, and a Swedish farmer in Minnesota. Together they provide an unmediated and seldom-seen view of American life during this period.
