In this snapshot of time, we witness a pioneer family standing proudly in front of their humble sod house in Custer County, Nebraska. The image portrays a man atop his horse, exuding strength and resilience as he gazes confidently into the distance. Beside him stands a woman with determination etched across her face; she embodies both grace and fortitude. Their children flank them - an adventurous boy clutching antlers with curiosity while a young girl radiates innocence and hope.
