"Gitty Up" shouted the driver, as he encouraged the laboring horses to pull the ladened "prairie schooner" faster westward across the prairie. In the "prairie schooners" the people were excited and anxious to reach the vast prairie of Nebraska. They wanted to rush to the land, select their free land, and build their homes. Among the settlers on the Nebraska plains were the Author's parents. In this book the reader has a glimpse of their simple home, the care of the livestock on the farm, the planting and harvesting of the crops, the brutal weather, and the challenges of isolation. Every family depended on their horses for survival. Man power combined with horse power with determination resulted in permanent settlements. When tractors began to emerge for farming, then horses retired from field work. Whoa!

The Manthei Ford Garage is located at 350 Main Street W in the center of downtown Maynard, Iowa. In January 2006, the Iowa Department of Transportation (IA DOT) contracted the Iowa Highway Archaeology Program to conduct a Phase I investigation of a stone culvert. Marlin R. Ingalls, who conducted the study, concluded that the garage was eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A as an "important example of an early Fayette County and Iowa Highway Commission era of automobile transportation." The IA DOT contracted The Louis Berger Group, Inc. to complete this Iowa Historic Property Study to mitigate any potential damage to the Manthei Ford Garage that may occur during construction. At the time of the Phase I investigation, water from the creek had already damaged a piling on the building.
