520 |a Two very special claims can be made with this book: First, it is different. Second, it is filled with much nostalgic beauty. Settler Mac and the Charmed Quarter-Section is different because it treats the lot of the homesteader on the prairies in the 80's and 90's-- not as life trying and difficult and sad (which, indeed, it was), but with equal truth as a good life filled with much beauty and warmth of human fellowship. The publisher calls the book a paean of beauty and truth to a way of life-- a way of life completely American, often falsely sentimentalized for its hardships but not for its goodness-- a way of life now certainly lost -- Book jacket.
