Black Soil, by Josephine Donovan (read Sept 8, 2000) If you have ever driven into Granville, Iowa, you will see a sign : "Home of Black Soil". I presume most folk have no idea what the sign is about, but in 1930 this book was a best seller, and Granville claims it is laid in its locale. I have been wanting to read this since 1975, when I read a discussion of it in Roy W. Meyer's book, The Middle Western Farm Novel. This book runs the gamut of blizzards, grasshoppers, and like pioneer hardships. It is not a good book, but anyone who knows Granville--and I have been there a few times--should read it.
