Marvin O. Avery was born and raised on a farm in a small frame house with two sisters and three brothers. This is a story, not only of his life, but also of his family at a time when good, able and honest hard working men and women wanted to work and there was no work. When a job came up the wage was so low, it was near impossible to live on it. His father, Otis, migrated from the Lansing, Michigan area to homested this quarter section of land in Northern North Dakota, about seventeen miles north of Minot, North Dakota, and about forty miles south of the Canadian border. His father was a 'jack-of-all-trades', as the author also turned out to be.
This is his story. |
