Abstract

Plains Folk is a compilation of ninety-six human- interest essays written for a syndicated column published in newspapers from Texas to North Dakota. The reprinted columns deal with tidbits of history, folklore, agriculture, and humor from the plains region. The columns are brief and without documentation, as one would expect from a newspaper column.
