In “The Sodbreakers,” Edith Kohl writes of her exciting experiences as she helped countless homesteaders settle the frontier area around Lusk and Van Tassell, Wyoming in the early 1900s.

This book is the second in Edith Kohl’s trilogy entitled, “Conquering the Wild West – Edith Kohl’s Trilogy.” The first book is “Land of the Burnt Thigh” followed by “The Sodbreakers” and then finally, “Woman of the Cavalcade.” Each book gives readers a unique “peek behind the curtain” as Edith describes the people and exciting, sometimes tragic, events as they unfolded.

Cliff Ammons, Edith Kohl's nephew, only recently discovered all three of Edith’s original, typed manuscripts in her old, “ratty-looking” suitcase that was left unopened for well over fifty years! Cliff now presents all of his aunt’s first-hand, historic accounts as she describes her remarkable experiences involved in the settling of America's undeveloped wild West.
