Young At Heart: Columns by Linnea Lindgren Young

Linnea Lindgren Young wrote a weekly column for 29 years for the Oakland Independent Newspaper. In a natural voice attuned to her audience, Linnea recalled life on a small farm in Eastern Nebraska. “Young at Heart” is a representative selection drawn from thousands of these columns, covering such topics as what people wore, how they ate, how they entertained themselves and much more. Young’s memory was prodigious and her interests wide and varying. She’ll take you back to the Nebraska of yesteryear, when lives were at once simpler and incredibly difficult.
