George and Kate Moore were pioneers of the Dakota Territory. George grew up in Texas and blazed the cattle drive trails across the country during the cattle boom of the late 1800's, in what would become one of the greatest pastoral movements in the history of the world. Later as homesteaders George and Kate faced many hardships on the open plains of the west.

Description
Linda Hasselstrom is a poet, essayist and working ranch woman. She works a South Dakota ranch home-steaded by her Swedish forebears. She structures her narration around the opening and closing of gates as she goes "over east" en route to the summer pasture. With each stop, she makes a nostalgic foray into the past, discusses the routine demands of their cow-calf operation and celebrates the wildlife or the silent dignity of deserted homesteads.
