Book Review
| Growing Up with the Town: Family and Community on the Great Plains. By Dorothy Hubbard Schwieder. (Iowa City: University of Iowa Press, 2002. xv + 198 pp. Illustrations, notes, index. $29.95.)

This engaging book is part family memoir, part community history. Schwieder's father, businessman Walter Hubbard, played an important role in the development of Presho, South Dakota, and he raised his family of ten children there. Hence the title and the intent: Schwieder combines the stories of family and community in ways that are both personal and historical. Moreover, her story is tied to a specific place: the unforgiving Northern Plains environment that she claims dominated life and shaped character. |
