About this listen

Picture this, You are a young family in the mid 1850's. You have a successful life with your factory. You have a beautiful wife and four wonderful children. This is everything you were told you need when you grow up. While you are happy, you still feel like something is missing. You've heard tales of fellow New Yorkers heading west and finding the peace they are looking for. You talk it over with your wife and eventually you end up on the Northen Boarder of Iowa. Its July 1856, You have arrived to a beautiful hilly land surrounding this crisp lake teeming with fish. Trees and man-sized stalks of blue grass rustles in the slight breeze, the air is fresh and the land seems almost untouched. This is it. This is where you belong and where you will spend the rest of your life. Not knowing that the rest of your life is only a few months away for all but one of your family. This is a look at the Spirit lake massacre.
