If it is true that a region is defined by its people and their
culture, then Jim Hoy and Tom Isern have taken a second giant step
in defining the Great Plains. Plains Folk II: The Romance of the
Landscape continues that story. As in the first volume, Plains
Folk: A Commonplace of the Great Plains, the authors write about
hardy plains dwellers - a rare breed who feel out of place anywhere
except on the prairie - and their cultural heritage, derived from
many countries in both the Old World and the New. Here are stories
about plains folklore, animals, food, lifestyles, and artifacts in
a land of buttermilk and blabs, Bigfoot and bindweed. Sharing their
experiences of the plains region, Hoy and Isern convey their sense
of place and their affection for the area. They see beauty in
landscapes that others, used to mountains or forests, deem barren.
They look beyond the seemingly flat surface into the lives and
culture of those who turned the Great American Desert into the
Garden of the World.
