No TV, no radio, no telephone, no bathroom, no refrigerator. This was ranch life long ago. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon Parks grew up on a family ranch in the rural Great Plains. The sky was big and blue. Cattle roamed the fields. Cowboys came and went. Most important of all, the ranch's water was supplied by a faithful windmill. Every night it lulled the boy to sleep, and every day it worked alongside the family in the sun. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWindmills still dot the landscape of the wide spaces of America's Great Plains. They serve as reminders of what it took homesteaders to settle this hardscrabble region and how they coaxed enough water from the earth to live by. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Don Parks grew up, he began painting the childhood he remembered. His paintings are set alongside a story by his wife, longtime educator Minda Parks. Together, the narrative and the paintings tell the history of windmills on the Great Plains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.2 x 7.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42692093214783,"sku":"9781682831441","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/80ea5a9419f01d97dc09fe47f2a873b9.webp?v=1764994339","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/beside-that-windmill-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
