These letters sent back home to the family in England give a vivid,
detailed account of the ups and downs of setting up and running a
farm on the Kansas prairie in the 1880s and 1890s. Due to a setback
in the family fortunes in the Manchester cotton trade, John and
Marian Whitworth made the enterprising decision to take their
family of five children and emigrate to the Mid West of America.
Although they were not at all experienced in farming they enjoyed
the freedom and less stressed country life. Despite many
difficulties including the destruction of their house by fire, they
were determined to make a success of this venture, and it was
personal tragedies, not external circumstances, which brought it to
an abrupt end.
