Sod Houses on the Great Plains
This book gives a clear idea of what life in a sod house was really like: cramped quarters, leaky roofs, and uninvited wildlife falling through the roof. The first homesteaders to settle on the Great Plains (Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas) found good land but almost no trees. The author’s clear text and humorous narrative make sod houses interesting.
