Présentation de l'éditeur :
This account of the author's journey proceeds from his birthplace in Broken Bow, Nebraska, eastward across the Midwest to New York State and back into time as he carries out genealogical research on his family. His findings along the way give rise to diverse reflections, from courthouse architecture to the financial and social stresses of "proving up" land claims. The reader becomes a traveling companion, a party to thought-provoking and fascinating discourse on the history that is our common heritage, as well as the stages of birth, growth, death, and then attenuation in the memory of our descendants. "Kem Luther's Cottonwood Roots moves across the American land toward revelations that illumine all our ancestries." -William Least Heat-Moon, author of Blue Highways and PrairyErth.
