This area of the U.S., the northern prairie, was settled
by Scandinavians and northern Europeans looking for farmland similar to their homeland.
Life was difficult, but with hard work and devotion to routine they could survive. The
key was the family farm--self-sustained, yet part of a community which loved the land,
had large families (the larger the better to share the work) with respectful,
affectionate children. The landscape is beautiful in an understated, straightforward
way: flat, with crisp horizon and tremendous sky. A man who sought simplicity and
reliability in people, Rosicky loved it here because he reflected the love of nature and
family, and the way that the two could work together.
