The King of Cornthe king of corn
120 pages - ISBN 0-9719658-0-3
$10.95, Softcover


"The King of Corn" is a treasure of Midwestern memories and a heartwarming documentation of the struggles and successes of the human spirit. It is a biography of Cal Schultz -- artist, teacher, and survivor of polio.

 

He's an inspiring symbol, for all of us, of perseverance, tolerance, and persistence. For a quarter-century he was the acclaimed muralist for the world's only Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. Many of his quality drawings and paintings enhance the book.
Written in a third-person, conversational style which speaks intimately to the reader, the book is packed with curious details of the past and present, and with 100-year-old tales of the Plains. The two unifying themes: triumph through wit and willpower, and the circular paths of life --circles that bless our lives. Sub-themes include corn, of course (actual corn and the comedic kind), and the stories of lives rooted in prairie soil.

Dakota Rebeldakota rebel

Dressed in men's clothing, she has a whip and she knows how to use it! Rebecca--Dakota Reb--a fiercely independent young woman home- steading alone on the prairie in Dakota Territory, 1874, has been scorned and ridiculed for her maverick ways. Her part-Lakota father had been a teamster, a wagoner skilled with a whip, and he'd taught his daughter well.

Co-authored by Paula Guhin and Dell Kleinsasser, under the pen name Lynn Dell, DAKOTA REBEL was the winner in the 2004 New Age Voices contest.
