Saturday's Child
“On the Wyoming plains, life has changed little since the Civil War. Automobiles are rare, the telephone and electric light are urban wonders, and though the Wright brothers took flight two years before, no one has seen an airplane.
Water is pumped from wells for cooking, cleaning and for the weekly bath in a wooden tub. Neighbors are few, but women gather for quilting bees while men meet to buy and sell livestock.
Young lovers, wrapped in buffalo robes against the winter cold, glide in ...brightly painted sleighs over the snowy landscape.
It is a time of hard work and rich reward: the birth of colts and calves, the dazzling rainbow of wildflowers blooming in spring.
It is a time with endless possibilities and new beginnings.MoreLess
