Our recent story about the Small Tract Act of 1938 and the Jackrabbit Homesteads of Wonder Valley was recently published on The Radavist.
“I breathe in. An anxious tension reverberates through my chest every time I step inside one of these cabins. Some still have doors; others do not. Almost all of the empty ones have had their windows broken out and boarded up to protect their interiors. I can’t see what I’m walking into until I’m already inside. A wave of emotion washes over me: fear, anxiety, and sadness. I feel a certain reverence for the lives lived here and the hopes dashed. I take a moment. I breathe out.“
