This book shares the stories of 65 Gohman ancestors who grew up next to the Mississippi River in Central Minnesota. They are the third-generation members of the Gohman family that immigrated from Lower Saxony, Germany, to the United States in 1843 and migrated from Cincinnati to Minnesota in 1855. The first and second generations are introduced briefly. The lives of the Third-Generation spanned a period from 1868 to 1991, an amazing 123 years. Generally engaged as farmers, they were diverse personalities who responded to life experiences in diverse ways. They lived through times of both great prosperity and deep poverty. They experienced two world wars and dramatically changing technology. This generation of the Gohman family thrived as they adapted to the changes in their lives from the horse and buggy times to the days of the jet plane.
In-depth interviews with the main movers in the punk rock movement--Crass members Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorant--detail the face of the revolution founded by these radical thinkers and artists. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rules by putting out their own records, films, and magazines and setting up a series of situationist pranks that were dutifully covered by the world's press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon: commune dwellers that were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom. As detailed in this history, their members explored and finally exhausted the possibilities of punk-led anarchy. This definitive biography of the band not only gives backstage access to their lives, philosophies, and the movement that followed, but also to never-before-seen photographs and rare dialogues.
Some fifty years apart, two itinerant men wander into two adjacent German towns. Two of their descendants, a man and a woman, eventually meet and, after traveling nearly a fourth of the way around the world to a new land, are married.

Following the in-depth exploration of the lives of the first generation couple, individual stories about the second generation of the family are presented.

The family members experienced and adapted to great changes in their livesmoving from a German Heuerling environment to working in early Cincinnati industries and finally moving on to homesteading in the wilderness of the Minnesota Territory.

In der Zeit, in welcher der Punkrock den Zeitgeist beherrschte, waren Crass an der Spitze der Bewegung und definierten neue Maßstäbe. Crass waren also nicht nur das Gesicht des Anarcho-Punk, sondern auch die Speerspitze einer revolutionären Bewegung. Sie waren eine der ersten Bands die ihre eigenen Platten, Filme und Magazine veröffentlichten und auf ihrer Autokratie bestanden. Sie setzten mit provokanten Aktionen Zeichen, die pflichtschuldig von der Presse in die Welt getragen wurden. Sie waren nicht nur ein weiterer Rockgigant - Crass waren ein musikalisches, soziales und politisches Phänomen. Misstrauisch gegen jede Art der konventionellen Popstar-Verehrung, selten fotografiert, versteckt in WG's schöpften die Bandmitglieder alle Möglichkeiten des Anarcho Punks voll aus. In diesem Buch erzählen sie nun selbst die ganze Geschichte von Crass. Viele der verwendeten Bilder werden der Öffentlichkeit in diesem Buch erstmalig zugänglich gemacht. Der Autor George Berger schrieb unter anderem für Sounds Melody Maker und Amnesty International. Er veröffentlichte bereits eine Levellers-Biografie unter dem Titel 'State Education/ No University'.
