Imagine you live in a small Bohemian village where you know everyone. In fact, your family has lived in this very house for generations. But war and poverty take their toll, and you decided to sail to America and start over in a city of 300,000. A few years later, the railroads open the door for westward expansion and a chance to own land. You and your spouse leave your entire family with the hope that you can eke out a future in a former Cowtown. That’s exactly what Terezie and Joseph did. They experienced uncertainty, heartbreak, and ultimately triumph on the Great Plains. This is their story.
