Originally published: New York : Hastings House, 1935; with new afterword. 520 $a First published in 1935, Old Jules is unquestionably Mari Sandoz's masterpiece. This portrait of her pioneer father grew out of "the silent hours of listening behind the stove or the wood box, when it was assumed, of course, that I was asleep in bed. So it was that I heard the accounts of the hunts," Sandoz recalls. "Of the fights with the cattlemen and the sheepmen, of the tragic scarcity of women, when a man had to 'marry anything that got off the train,' of the droughts, the storms, the wind and isolation. But the most impressive stories were those told me by Old Jules himself." 650 10 $a Sandoz, Jules Ami, 1857?-1928. $d 1857?-1928. 650 0 $a Pioneers $x Biography. $x Biography. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $x Sandhills. $x Sandhills. 650 0 $a Nebraska $x Biography. 650 0 $a Sandhills (Neb.) $x Social life and customs. 941 $a 2 952 $l FUPB284 $d 20240223163921.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20150901010457.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D035E136506E11E5B3EDBC9EDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
