Dances on the Plymouth County Farm and Rail Land Era
A memory piece recalls old time gatherings with bread and butter lunches, cake and pie, dancing in a hall built in 1874 by John Arendt, and fiddle music by Web LaForge and Alph Williams. It also recounts land grants, railroad development, homesteads, and local names like L. Bowman, Johnson Township, and Dodge to Sioux City rail line.
