Book Description
With the warmth and humor we've come to know, the creator and host of A Prairie Home Companion shares his own remarkable story. In That Time of Year, Garrison Keillor looks back on his life and recounts how a Brethren boy with writerly ambitions grew up in a small town on the Mississippi in the 1950s and, seeing three good friends die young, turned to comedy and radio. Through a series of unreasonable lucky breaks, he founded A Prairie Home Companion and put himself in line for a good life, including mistakes, regrets, and a few medical adventures. PHC lasted forty-two years, 1,557 shows, and enjoyed the freedom to do as it pleased for three or four million listeners every Saturday at 5 p.m. Central. He got to sing with Emmylou Harris and Renée Fleming and once sang two songs to the U.S. Supreme Court. He played a private eye and a cowboy, gave the news from his hometown, Lake Wobegon, and met Somali cabdrivers who’d learned English from listening to the show. He wrote bestselling novels, won a Grammy and a National Humanities Medal, and made a movie with Robert Altman with an alarming amount of improvisation. He says, “I was unemployable and managed to invent work for myself that I loved all my life, and on top of that I married well. That’s the secret, work and love. And I chose the right ancestors, impoverished Scots and Yorkshire farmers, good workers. I’m heading for eighty, and I still get up to write before dawn every day.”

Book Description
The Minnesota frontier was transformed in the 1840s, from the fur trade to lumber, and in the 1850s, from lumber to farming. Its vast forests and prairies were settled by those arriving by wagon and steamboat--the pioneers.Of the many pioneer women in Minnesota in the years 1840-1860, the forty-four portrayed in this book are ancestors of members of the Lake Minnetonka Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. As a companion to the chapter's restoration of the 1929 DAR monument "Honoring Minnesota Pioneer Women 1840-1860" at the Sibley House in Mendota, Minnesota, this book affords the opportunity to paint a picture of the hardships, courage and adventurous spirit of these pioneer women, so that their stories live on.
