We, who live in the Machine Age, can scarcely imagine how our grandparents and parents,
who came from a populous country, the home of their parents, and moved with them to the thinly
settled state of Texas, passed their youth - under circumstances and surroundings so entirely
different from those under which we grandchildren and children live.
Therefore, we gladly listen when Grandmother or Grandfather tells of that time: the pioneer
days with their sorrows and joys
And so the children and grandchildren of Louise Fuchs have asked her to write down her
Reminiscences, so that those days will not vanish for us in the stream of time.
