Homesteaders Quotes

“Homesteading created a society of small property holders that was much more egalitarian than our modern urban culture is, with its wide divisions between the rick and poor. It prompted neighbors to work together and make decisions together concerting matters that affected them all.”
― Richard Edwards, Great Plains Homesteaders

“They came to a living prairie that was a marvelous and alien place, disorienting to newcomers in its vastness.”
― Richard Edwards, Great Plains Homesteaders
