Love Song to the Plains is a lyric salute to the earth and sky and people who made the history of the Great Plains by the region\'s incomparable historian, Mari Sandoz.
Above all, this is a portrait of the true Plainsman, the man or woman who can stand to have the horizon far off and every day, every year, a gamble..
It is a story of men and women of many hues-courageous, violent, indomitable, foolish-their legends, failures, and achievements: of explorers and fur trappers and missionaries; of soldiers and army posts and Indian fighting; of California-bound emigrants who stopped off to become settlers; of cattlemen and bad men, boomers and land speculators, and their feuds and rivalries.
