The Picnickers

The Picnickers has ached to be written and in the nick-of-time, before the delicate nuances of memory fade into oblivion, it is. Descendants research Elizabeth, her one-time circus performer husband Tabor, and their children carving out a farm/ranch operation in the unbroken sod of Dakota. Following the 1905 opening of reservation land to homesteaders, innuendos besiege the family throughout the WWI loss of a son, the birth of their eleventh child followed abruptly by Tabor's murder. Elizabeth and her children are left to cope with the aftermath. You are invited to join the Picnickers and sort through the confluence of points of view, for from an array of eleven, surely one speaks from your own ancestry.
