Description

***This is a story about homesteading on the Prairies in South Central Saskatchewan before the turn of the century. Crocus Plains could be any town, any place on the Prairies.*** In Those days the cow and horse were so important for survival. This book tells of the hardships these pioneers put up with, such as the ***long drives to town, lack of fuel, lack of Doctors, no hospitals, no school, no elevators, no telephones, no hydro or roads, of digging for water, the War, the flue, and the depression of the thirties.*** It's a wonder there were any farmers left in the country.***--Excerpt from pg. 2 Foreword.***
