  As the US transformed itself from an agricultural to an industrial nation, thousands of young people left farm homes for the big city. But even by 1920 the nation's heartland remained predominantly rural and most children in the region were still raised on farms. Pamela Riney-Kehrberg retells their stories, offering glimpses of a bygone era.
