He wanted me to take it over, so in November of 1909 he and I came to Sterling, Colorado where we transferred the homestead over to me.<\/p>\n<p>I had until April in 1910 to start my living on the place, so my father and I came to Akron on the train that month and he helped me build a shack on a hill of S\u00bd-29-2S-51. We got into Akron on an early morning train on the Burlington and as I looked south from the old depot, I could see nothing but prairie, no buildings in sight, not even freight cars and I thought,
