"Ida Boettcher married Ed Buchholz in March 1913. About a year later, they moved from the lush Red River Valley to a flat, treeless area of Montana, about twenty miles from Big Sandy. To relieve her loneliness, her mother and sisters wrote frequent detailed, and often humorous letters to her. Ida saved these letters and they have now been compiled in this book"--Back cover.
