After a long and difficult journey, the pioneer family left the wagon train and settled on their homestead. The Conestoga is parked, the house built, the well sunk. The farmer's wife is trying out the new single bottom plow, and the kids fly a kite off the front porch. In this high and windy place, they can see far into a bright future. This scene, with wave after wave of wild prairie grass, was inspired by a location near my boyhood home in eastern South Dakota.
