"The river was in God's hands, the cows in ours." So passed the
days on Indian Farm, a dairy operation on 700 acres of rich
Illinois bottomland. In this collection, Alan Guebert and his
daughter-editor Mary Grace Foxwell recall Guebert's years on the
land working as part of that all-consuming collaborative effort
known as the family farm. Here are Guebert's tireless parents,
measuring the year not in months but in seasons for sewing, haying,
and doing the books; Jackie the farmhand, needing ninety minutes to
do sixty minutes' work and cussing the entire time; Hoard the
dairyman, sore fingers wrapped in electrician's tape, sharing wine
and the prettiest Christmas tree ever; and the unflappable Uncle
Honey, spreading mayhem via mistreated machinery, flipped wagons,
and the careless union of diesel fuel and fire. Guebert's heartfelt
and humorous reminiscences depict the hard labor and simple
pleasures to be found in ennobling work, and show that in life, as
in farming, Uncle Honey had it right with his succinct philosophy
for overcoming adversity: "the secret's not to stop."
