Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-06 00:00:00 Edmond Ko The property near Casselton, ND that we purchased in 2012 to build our small winery on was originally part of the Dalrymple/Cass Bonanza Farm, so it was very interesting to read the account of someone who lived nearby during the late 1800s. It's hard to imagine how people survived the weather and everything the Red River Valley threw at them, all without modern conveniences.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-15 00:00:00 Jaime Ryan Heintz A very interesting snapshot of a woman's life. I think I especially enjoyed it because she mentions some of my family members as her neighbors. Their lives would have been very similar.
