Sandhill Sundays and Other Recollections by Mari Sandoz
A powerful recreation of pioneer days in the Nebraska Sandhills in these autobiographical essays written between 1929 and 1965. Dangers in every form—blizzards, fires, rattlesnakes, murderous men—are described, and just as vividly, so are the pleasures of country cooking, storytelling, favorite pets, and the first phonograph for miles around.
Discussion led by Sue Clement
Local historians lead monthly discussions of books featuring Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska, or regional history. Membership in the book club is monthly, participants can choose which month/book is of interest to them and do not need to commit to the entire program series.
The Bygone Book Club is a partnership between the Grand Island Public Library and the Hall County Historical Society.
