Wilhelmina Boehm was born in Saxony in 1835 and came to America as a girl. At 18 she was married to Fred Ney, aged 21, in Arnheim, Ohio. Fred and Minna farmed first in Ohio, and then in Illinois, and then in Louisiana. Their family grew to eleven sons and daughters, forty grandchildren, and a lot of great-grand-children. In their old age they went to live with a daughter in Medford, Oklahoma, where Fred died in 1919 at the age of 87, and Minna in 1923, also at 87. Most of the letters in this volume were written by Minna from Medford to her daughter Eliza Hagius, but it includes also a number of other family letters and documents. The letters give a day-to-day picture of farm life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and what it was to live through World War I and the Spanish Influenza epidemic. They also portray the progress of a large family as it spread westward to the Pacific, and moved off the farm and into the towns and cities.

This succinct, accessible two-volume set covers all aspects of Celtic historical life, from prehistory to the present day. The study of Celtic history has a wide international appeal, but unfortunately many of the available books on the subject are out-of-date, narrowly specialized, or contain incorrect information. Online information on the Celts is similarly unreliable. This two-volume set provides a well-written, up-to-date, and densely informative reference on Celtic history that is ideal for high school or college-aged students as well as general readers. The Celts: History, Life, and Culture uses a cross-disciplinary approach to explore all facets of this ancient society. The book introduces the archaeology, art history, folklore, history, linguistics, literature, music, and mythology of the Celts and examines the global influence of their legacy. Written entirely by acknowledged experts, the content is accessible without being simplistic. Unlike other texts in the field, The Celts: History, Life, and Culture celebrates all of the cultures associated with Celtic languages at all periods, providing for a richer and more comprehensive examination of the topic.
