There is nothing so much at the root of American thought as the farm and the family. In "The Round Barn," Jackie Jackson honors both with her storytelling. Daddy Dougan is clearly someone we all wish we knew. Jim Fleming, host of PRI s To the Best of Our Knowledge and Wisconsin Public Radio s Chapter A Day" ", "An uncanny ability to describe and reflect on what it really was like to grow up on a renowned and innovative family dairy farm. Colorful, interesting, detailed, and insightful." -- Hoard's Dairyman, "There is nothing so much at the root of American thought as the farm and the family. In "The Round Barn," Jackie Jackson honors both with her storytelling. Daddy Dougan is clearly someone we all wish we knew."--Jim Fleming, host of PRI's "To the Best of Our Knowledge" and Wisconsin Public Radio's "Chapter A Day", "This is a splendid and essentially American story--great history because it is both human stories and a wealth of narrative about the transformative changes in American farming itself. There has been nothing like it before and there will not be again."--John Knoepfle, winner of the Mark Twain Award for Distinguished Contributions to Midwestern Literature, This is a splendid and essentially American storygreat history because it is both human stories and a wealth of narrative about the transformative changes in American farming itself. There has been nothing like it before and there will not be again. John Knoepfle, winner of the Mark Twain Award for Distinguished Contributions to Midwestern Literature ", "Jackson's saga is our most detailed history of Midwest farming and dairying from 1900 to the 1970s. The Dougan farm was a top dairy, utilizing the latest developments in crops--including the early years of alfalfa and the advent of hybrid seed corn--and the beginning of artificial insemination and proved sires. Jackson writes with warmth and empathy, and we are the fortunate beneficiaries of her work." --Robert Walton, former president of American Breeders Service
