Description

Old Jules is Mari Sandoz's most celebrated work, a deeply personal portrait of her pioneer father. Born from the quiet hours spent listening behind the stove or in bed, this memoir recounts the stories of the American frontier during the 19th century. The author recalls hearing tales of hunts, cattle drives, and struggles against the elements, as well as the hardships faced by women in a male-dominated society. Her father's own stories, passed down through generations, are woven into the narrative, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of those who shaped the American West. This Bison Books edition includes a new introduction by Linda M. Hasselstrom, providing additional context and insight into Sandoz's remarkable work.
