This is the story of a young man from central United States, coming to Canada and having faith in the Golden West. Carved a home out of the Prairie sod for himself and his family. Of how they worked together through happiness and sorrow, to put themselves through the dirty thirties. And how strong a love it took to make a happy life.

Many of these happenings and experiences could have happened to any family in any district on the Prairies of Western Canada.--pg. 4 Foreword
