My great grandfather and his team of horses out on the farm in Mitchell, South Dakota.

Before migrating out to southern California, my grandmothers side of the family pioneered their way around the farmland of South Dakota. That wasn’t an easy life. In the photos that follow, you will see my great grandfather out on the farm as well as two of my great great grandmothers and even my great great grand uncle. Good ol’ pioneer memories!
