  • "In 1879, after four years in a Zurich medical school & constant arguments with his prosperous parents, the twenty-two-year-old Jules left his home in Switzerland, crossed the Atlntic, & traveled as far west as his money would carry him, to northeastern Nebraska. When his beloved Rosalie refused to join him in his new country, he 'married the first woman who would have him.' And when she refused to follow his rules, he loaded his worldly goods on a wagon. left her & his original homestead forever, & headed west."@en
  • "First published in 1935, Old Jules is unquestionably Mari Sandoz's masterpiece. This portrait of her pioneer father grew out of "the silent hours of listening behind the stove or the wood box, when it was assumed, of course, that I was asleep in bed. So it was that I heard the accounts of the hunts," Sandoz recalls. ""Of the fights with the cattlemen and the sheepmen, of the tragic scarcity of women, when a man had to 'marry anything that got off the train, ' of the droughts, the storms, the wind and isolation. But the most impressive stories were those told me by Old Jules himself."@en
