520    "Tom Brokaw is known as one of the hardest-working, most 
       successful people in broadcast journalism. His success is 
       attributed to his work ethic, his instinct for identifying
       the significance of the news in the lives of ordinary 
       people, and his reputation for always showing up for 
       others. In this heartfelt family story, Tom shows the 
       values and lessons he absorbed from his ancestors, parents,
       and others who settled in South Dakota and worked hard to 
       build lives on the prairie during the first half of the 
       twentieth century. At the center of this story is Red 
       Brokaw, Tom's father, who left school in the third grade. 
       At the end of his life, Red surprised his family by 
       recording his memories about the Brokaw ancestors who 
       obtained land in South Dakota under the Lend-Lease plan 
       and started a hotel called the Brokaw House. As a boy Red 
       worked there, and then on construction jobs, developing a 
       talent for machines. At a high school play, he fell in 
       love with the girl playing the lead, Jean, whose father 
       had lost the family farm during the Depression. They 
       married, and struggled financially. Their son Tom was born
       in 1940, and two other sons followed. Red had a philosophy
       : Never give up. Never complain. After the war, Red got 
       his big break. The Army Corps of Engineers began to build 
       great projects, including dams across the Missouri River, 
       magnificent structures like the Fort Randall and the 
       Gavins Point dams. Red rose to become a Foreman on the dam
       project, and the Brokaws moved to towns created to house 
       workers, where the family became part of a vibrant 
       community life"--|cProvided by publisher.
