These are the compiled memories of the ten children of John and Thresa (Miksch) Hytrek who farmed and raised their children on the family homestead southwest of Stuart, Holt County, Nebraska. Originally collected by Jack Hytrek in 1993, the stories were organized into book form by Jim McGowan in 1998, and re-organized for this publication by Roberta "Bobbi" King. There are stories from Cele Miksch who records her Miksch family history as she knew it, there are Thresa (Miksch) Hytrek's memories of her family, two poems, family trees, and several pages of photos. The memories were transcribed by Bobbi King, while the family trees and photos were scanned from the original pages of the McGowan compilation.
