About this listen

In this episode I’ve pulled a few stories and poems from an anthology called Prairie Gold, an anthology of Iowan authors and artists. Created during the social upheaval of World War I, the collection emphasizes cooperation and humanitarian ideals through pieces that showcase Iowa's landscapes, people, and culture. The book uses local legends and natural imagery to evoke pride and unity, offering a diverse array of personal narratives and reflections.

  • “Bread” by Ellis Parker Butler will have you salivating for some fresh baked bread;
  • “A Field” by Minnie Stichter vividly chronicles a year in the life of an Iowa prairie ecosystem;
  • “Old Bill” by Henry C. Wallace pays tribute to a farm family’s loyal horse.
  • Poems:
    • “A Load of Hay” by James B Weaver,
    • “Sonny’s Wish” by Bertha M. H. Shambaugh
    • “A Box From Home” by Helen Cowles LeCron.
