O PIONEERS!

Talented narrator Barbara McCulloh uses her highly trained and experienced vocal abilities to capture the biting cold of the Nebraska flatlands and the tough but gentle people who choose to work the land there. She uses plaintive pauses and firm emphasis to paint pictures with words describing the characters' struggles to thrive as they battle the elements. McCulloh adopts a measured pace and employs her extraordinary ability to evoke deep emotion in listeners as she leads them through the stark landscapes.
