Old Rail Fence Corners is a collection of reminiscences and oral histories gathered from early settlers of Minnesota, preserving firsthand memories of frontier life, Native encounters, early homesteading, and the transformation of the Minnesota wilderness into American farm and town. The title evokes the weathered fenceposts and rough corners of pioneer agriculture — the humble material evidence of settlement in its earliest phase.
Collections of this kind are irreplaceable as local history, capturing voices and stories that formal histories rarely record. Download this free EPUB for a rich mosaic of pioneer memory from one of the last American frontiers.
