Kansas Pioneers, Second Generation is my mother's stories about growing up on a Kansas farm in the early 1900s.Her stories include how her family came to be in Kansas, arriving from Sweden, Scotland, and from Wisconsin by way of a Conestoga wagon driven by a woman. Other stories are about encounters with Native Americans, gypsies, hobos, and peddlers. She describes how the family with eight children could survive, feed, and clothe themselves, almost completely self–sustained. She tells stories of some of the farm animals, growing a garden, and being educated in a one–room country school. Life on the farm did not initially include inside water or plumbing, electricity, telephones, cars, or gas–powered farm vehicles.
