Jim Sargent's book, Too Poor to Move, But Always Rich, offers the
reader a chance to experience the unfolding of the twentieth
century as lived by his parents, the Norwegian and the Honyocker.
This devoted couple struggled through decades of phenomenal change
on a dry-land Montana ranch. Raising sheep, farming with
horse-drawn machinery, facing sickness and death, dealing with
cantankerous animals, braving blizzards, coping with dust and
drought, then bogging down in gumbo, they endured all of the pathos
and rejoiced in the profound satisfactions that rewarded their
steadfast efforts to survive. During the terrible drought and
depression of the 1930s, many western ranch families abandoned the
land, but for those who stuck it out, exceptional inner strength
emerged. Though they sacrificed deeply, and worked harder than
anyone today can imagine, they also found ways to laugh, to have
fun, to raise happy, healthy children, and to live their values of
honesty, fairness, trust, and thrift. Sargent, an avid history
buff, has inherited his parents' love of the land, their wit and
wisdom, and their love of telling a good story.
