We Sagebrush Folks: Annie Pike Greenwood's Idaho

Annie Pike Greenwood was a writer, teacher, mother and farmer's wife who lived in south-central Idaho between 1913 and 1928, when the area had just opened to farming. She would turn her notes about her hardscrabble experience into a book, We Sagebrush Folks. Using newfound material, this documentary helps illuminate Greenwood’s life and work and examines how her legacy lives on.
