GOTTLOB LERCH: A STORY - by F.B. Urban, 2003. Gottlob Lerch was a simple,
hard-working man who immigrated from the Kuban Region of the Russian Empire to
the plains of North Dakota to make a new life for himself and his family. This
is a charming little story about the particular experience of a German Russian
homesteader, his struggle to economically survive as a farmer on the marginally
productive prairies of the Great Plains, and his relations with family and
neighbors. Soft cover - 96 pages.
