 | | The Holm farm, bought by my grandfather from the railroad in 1885, sat on a hilly section of northern tall grass prairie, dotted with swampy unfarmable wetlands and stony thin-soiled pasture. |
 | | Those pheasants, along with a Canadian honker or two, always appeard on the Holm Thanksgiving table, the geese and ducks larded with bacon, and the pheasants roasted in farm cream in a heavy fl iron roaster. |
 | | The bacon drippings and cream were scraped out from the bottm and disappeard into boats of rich gravy, to be poured over mashed potatoes, corn, brown bread, pheasant breasts. |
