## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A wonderful book if you are interested in the struggles of those settling the Midwest
  

*by E***H on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2019*

I loved being transported back to 1800's Iowa, learning about the hardships so many faced as they arrived in Iowa.  I really enjoyed this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The fictional story of my hometown.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2017*

I grew up in Granville, Iowa, where the welcome sign reads, "Welcome to Granville, Home of Black Soil." This novella was in many of the libraries of the families I knew growing up, and still sits on my mother's table of keepsakes from our home. While this is not an earth moving work of fiction, it paints a picture of the life of struggles on the prairie, a life all the settlers faced. It is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in details of what life was like on the prairie in the late 1800s.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Not a great book but a wonderful read
  

*by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014*

Don't be mistaken. Black Soil is not a great novel. However, it tells a story too soon and often and easily forgotten--the kind of story told in Giants in the Earth and elsewhere. The homesteading experience, on this side of the Missouri River at least, didn't take all that long--maybe a decade. But it's important to know how it happened and who was displaced.  Josephine Donovan takes a shot at that American saga in this 1930s novel. If you're from the black soil she describes, as I am, this novel should be required reading. I'm sitting on land right now that's part of the story.
