Sod and Stubble is the story of a German immigrant Henry Ise and his devoted wife, Rosie Haag Ise who with tenacity and devotion fought to craft a home for their family on the plains of Kansas. Based on the book by the same name, written by John Ise with additional material by Von Rothenberger, "Sod & Stubble" has been remembered by some as a “nonfiction novel” that provides the readers with a realism rarely delivered.
