Abstract

Prevailing Over Time is an exploration of the development of Swedish, Russian Mennonite, and French Canadian farming communities in central Kansas in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. McQuillan examines the immigrants' adoption of American social practices and the adjustment of ethnic and nativeborn settlers to farming in an area of unpredictable rainfall.
