The fee to file for a homestead quarter was ten dollars - sometimes referred to as Ten Dollars and a Dream.
Some of the old timers said the ten dollar fee was a bet you made with the government that you wouldn't starve to death during the three years you had to prove up your homestead.
How did the pioneers make it work?
