Did you ever wounder what your ancestor's lives were like? This is an account of an actual family that homesteaded in Nebraska in the19th century. They struggled through a prairie fire, blizzards, dust storms and opposition to their very existence. Although they lived on borrowed money most of the time and squeezed every penny, they were able to increase their land holdings. The original 160 acre homestead evolved into a ranch of more than7,000 acres 60 years later. Actual local area history is woven into this family's lives during six decades. Such as the time Buffalo Bill went to Rushville to recruite Indians for his Wild West Shows. Included is the effect upon the family of the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. The Furman and Jackson families are true. Also, Buffalo Bill, Jules Sandoz, and Jim Asay were actual people. All other names are fictitious.

My grandfather entered the world by a difficult birth in a dugout on the Nebraska prairie. His mistakes as a young man and the loss of a wife molded him into a caring person. He experienced wealth that provided whatever was wanted and available. This he obtained by his abilities and selling automobiles when the timing was right. Then, during the long depression, he faced poverty; not having a dime in his pocket. A man true to his word and strong in his own belief, Evan Furman was a survivalist throughout his life on the prairie.

Local history and actual events are woven into this story. The names of businesses, the Furman family, and a few other people are factual. Other names needed to complete the story are fictitious.

Written by the developers of the new 21st century HF (high frequency) radio technology, this groundbreaking resource presents the powerful new capabilities and technical details of 3G and WBHF (wideband high frequency) waveforms to help professionals understand and use the ionospheric channel for video and high-speed data transmission. Featuring more than 180 illustrations, this practical book enables engineers to utilize this technology to communicate voice and data over the horizon without needing anyone else's infrastructure, send video beyond line of sight from moving platforms, and communicate over long ranges at such low power that it is nearly undetectable. Readers learn the rationale behind the new US and NATO standards for HF radio communications directly from their developers. Additionally, the book looks at the future direction of this technology area and the open problems requiring further research.
