THE OGALLALA ROAD A Memoir of Love and Reckoning

by | Read by Kirsten Potter

Biography & Memoir • 10.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2014

With a warm voice, Kirsten Potter reads Julene Bair’s memoir of growing up in western Kansas, west of the 100th meridian, in America’s desert. Dividing her life into five different periods, Bair describes raising corn, wheat, and horses in this vast rolling land, her family’s home for 100 years. Listeners are drawn into environmental issues and disputes over water rights, all delivered in Potter’s honeyed tones. Using subtle inflections and a sometimes strident tone, Potter narrates Bair’s study of the use and abuse of the Ogallala Aquifer, which provides water for farms large and small. Potter’s evenly paced narration reflects the steady erosion of land and scarcity of water in America’s Plains states and Bair’s concerns for the future fertility of their vast swaths of farm and range lands.
