Hutchens.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe proof of that is in her powerful re-creation of pioneer days in the Sandhills of northwestern Nebraska in these autobiographical pieces written between 1929 and 1965.

They include the Sandoz patriarch, the fiery libertarian Old Jules; Marlizzie, the archetypal pioneer woman who was Mari's mother; siblings, chums, neighbors, homesteaders, and Indians, all individualized and defined by a harsh and lonely frontier. Dangers in every form--blizzards, fires, rattlesnakes, murderous men--are described, and, just as vividly, so are the pleasures afforded by country cooking, storytelling, pet animals, and the first phonograph for miles around. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEven when she strays, as in the final piece, \"Outpost in New York,\" Mari Sandoz never leaves the Sandhills in spirit. Included are a chronology of her career, a checklist of her writings, and a brief introduction by Virginia Faulkner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mari Sandoz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 167\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.97h x 5.30w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803291485","brand":"Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181787410547,"sku":"9.7808E+12","price":16.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_6a369bc7-e834-40c6-b449-670978ee6bf7.jpg?v=1766931758","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/sandhill-sundays-and-other-recollections-9780803291485","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
