Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Free Homestead Lands of Colorado Described: A Handbook for Settlers The value of farm lands in Colorado is far below what it should be. This is easily accounted for from the fact that the available farm lands exceed the supply of farmers in the State five to one. People are waking up to this fact, too. They are finding out that ten acres in Colorado can be purchased for the price of one acre in Illinois, Iowa and the Eastern States. They are also finding that there is not so much difference between what can be produced on an acre of Colorado land and on an acre in the Mississippi valley.

Book excerpt: "Long Vistas describes an era before and after the turn of the century when women and families homesteaded the grasslands of northeastern Colorado. With Congress's passage of the Homestead Act in 1862, women as well as men were entitled to claim 160 acres of the nation's hinterlands. What the act's supporters had not anticipated, however, was the effect homesteading would have on women. For the first time, in a nation whose founders linked land with wealth and political power, large numbers of women had access to landownership and to a taste of the empowerment that it could bring." "Long Vistas presents the stories of women who claimed land, and of other women who helped earn patents on land claimed by their husbands and fathers. Regardless of whose name appeared on a land claim, homesteading required the cooperation of family and neighbors. Women, men, and children worked, prayed, and played together. Mingling freely, homesteaders lowered barriers of age and gender, undermining time-honored hierarchies governing family and community life. The presence of landowning women reinforced this easy sociability by demonstrating a fuller range of options for what women and girls could do and be." "Drawing on reminiscences and never-before published oral histories, personal papers, and land records, historian Katherine Harris takes a fresh, sometimes controversial, look at the impact of homesteading on gender roles and the distribution of economic power between women and men."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2018 Nebraska Book Award 2018 Outstanding Academic Title, selected by Choice Homesteading the Plains offers a bold new look at the history of homesteading, overturning what for decades has been the orthodox scholarly view. The authors begin by noting the striking disparity between the public’s perception of homesteading as a cherished part of our national narrative and most scholars’ harshly negative and dismissive treatment. Homesteading the Plains reexamines old data and draws from newly available digitized records to reassess the current interpretation’s four principal tenets: homesteading was a minor factor in farm formation, with most Western farmers purchasing their land; most homesteaders failed to prove up their claims; the homesteading process was rife with corruption and fraud; and homesteading caused Indian land dispossession. Using data instead of anecdotes and focusing mainly on the nineteenth century, Homesteading the Plains demonstrates that the first three tenets are wrong and the fourth only partially true. In short, the public’s perception of homesteading is perhaps more accurate than the one scholars have constructed. Homesteading the Plains provides the basis for an understanding of homesteading that is startlingly different from current scholarly orthodoxy.

Download or read book Homesteading Women written by Julie Jones-Eddy and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The popular image of the settling of the American West has primarily been of cowboys, soldiers, miners, and trappers--the white men. In Homesteading Women: An Oral History of Colorado, 1890-1950 Julie Jones-Eddy brings to light the reality of the frontier through the oral testimonies of some of the women whose strength and perseverance were essential to the establishment of families, farms, and communities in the West." "Homesteading Women is a compilation of Jones-Eddy's interviews with 47 women between the ages of 55 and 95--some married, some mothers, some employed, but all survivors of the rigors of homesteading in a demanding and, at times, hostile environment. The interviewees vividly recall frontier attitudes toward childhood, marriage, pregnancy and birth, work, health care, daily life, and death. Some of the women worked in the home, while others had roles in the fields alongside the men in addition to their domestic duties. Maintaining the home--whether it be a tent, a dugout, or a log cabin--was strenuous work, as the women had to cope with cold, altitude, and isolation, haul fuel and water, tend livestock, make preserves, soap, lard, and clothes, and generate cash with their "butter and egg" money. Outside the home, traditional gender lines were often blurred as women performed arduous tasks in caring for farm animals and working the land." "Jones-Eddy provides many of her questions along with the interviewees' answers, thereby preserving the dialogue that elicited their responses. The result is an especially warm and personal account of an era and a way of life now gone by." "Homesteading Women includes a chapter by Professor Elizabeth Jameson, coeditor of The Women's West. Jameson places the oral testimonies within a greater historical context and highlights the significant contribution these women made not only to their communities but to women's history in general."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Homesteading Haxtun and the High Plains written by Jean Gray and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very little has been written about the "real" northeastern plains of Colorado, the small communities that dot its open, sky-filled, mountainless landscape. Haxtun began as two separate homesteads, "proved up" by Alice Strohm and Kate (Fletcher) Edwards, who sold their land to the Lincoln Land Company in 1887, which led to the founding of the town. The area was generally viewed as useless land in those early days but was promoted as being full of opportunity--neglecting mention of a proclivity toward drought, hailstorms and blizzards and the gamble of the land. The High Plains survived, though. Its settlers, proving to be hardy and industrious, faced the challenges head on. Today, Haxtun and the surrounding communities of Fairfield, Dailey, Fleming and Paoli are filled with the descendants of those early settlers, people with a strong sense of community and pride in their little High Plains towns.

This book was released on 2016-12-06 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fertile Lands of Colorado and Northern New Mexico: A Concise Description of the Vast Area of Agricultural, Horticulural and Grazing Lands Located on the Line of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad in Colorado and New Mexico The amount of capital required to take hold of a piece of land under either of these three methods is about the same. Colorado is no new state, but has been settled for more than a quarter of a century. Most of the choicer loca tions have long since been proved up on, irrigated, improved and farmed. But methods of farming have changed. Time and experience have shown that the man on the forty acre farm, or even the ten or twenty acre farm close in, often makes more money than the man with a quarter section of land in a more remote section, so that in all the most fertile valleys a diligent man can find good land, well fertilized and tilled, for sale in small tracts on easy terms. On the other hand, the man who goes further out, buys more land and farms it and gets it into condition has before him the certainty that in time he, too, can sell out three forties of his quarter section at a big profit, retain the other forty and be in a comparatively short time the owner of a highly improved, productive, close-in piece of land, and have money in the bank besides.
