A Wisconsinite traces the lives of his great-grandparents C. W. Brandhorst (1869-1930) and Alvina Backhaus (1872-1954), pioneers in Oklahoma's Cherokee Strip. It delves into the world of German-Americans in World War I and into the lives of C. W.'s ancestors, many of whom participated in the witch persecutions of seventeenth-century Germany. A table of known ancestors and descendants of C. W. and Alvina is included.
