- Description
- "The Memoirs of Athena M. Lyseth," compiled by the Lyseth family. Athena Lyseth finished high school at the age of 17, and ventured out of her south Minneapolis neighborhood to be a rural school teacher. There she met her husband, a farmer named Harvey. Together, they ventured to Montana as homesteaders, and her memoirs recall the "16 dry years" in the state. The last few entries tell about the years on the farm in Hinkley, Minnesota. Her memories tell the story of an everyday woman and her everyday life.
