- Description
- Description
- Iron Crosses stand as sentinels on the prairie landscape, framed by huge expanses of grass and sky. Though they stand silent, behind each one is a story. Prairie Crosses, Prairie Voices evokes these stories, memories of the Germans from Russia, a frugal and tenacious people whose blacksmiths used wagon-wheel rims and scrap metal to fashion markers for the graves of the dead. Prairie Crosses, Prairie Voices follows the traditional iron art form that crossed continents and oceans and survived famine and war, to be reborn on the Great Plains in Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana, South Dakota, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
