A maternal maverick, Anna Satorie, went against cultural norms and became the sole owner of her family's homestead in 1905. The next year, Anna married John Burich, and the couple went about building a thrifty family farm. Pioneer life was fraught with trials and tribulations as polio and tuberculosis claimed loved ones and the fabricated death of a bootlegging brother turned gangsters away from the farm. Neighbors pitched in as members of the immigrant class aided one another to construct farmsteads and support one another through unsanctioned bank loans, daring dynamite work and barn raisings. Leaving work aside this community also threw parties met by the rooster's early-dawn crow. Corey Geiger, international agricultural journalist, pairs his rural roots and lively storytelling talents to capture six generations of local tales."--Back cover. 600 10 $a Burich, John A., $d 1878-1939. 600 10 $a Satorie, Anna, $d 1877-1951. 650 0 $a Dairy farming $z Wisconsin. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Wisconsin. 650 0 $a Women farmers $z Wisconsin. 651 0 $a Rockland (Wis.) $x History. 651 0 $a Reedsville (Wis.) $x History. 651 0 $a Reedsville (Wis.) $v Biography. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220104014630.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=63C787966D2E11ECB3EC20C24FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
