About This Book

A sequence of frontier episodes follows a pioneer family and their neighbors as they settle prairie land, attend to daily labors, and confront the hazards of isolated life. Focus ranges from a restless young man's hopes and household scenes to communal gatherings and frontier entertainments. Danger intrudes in the form of wild animals, fire, flood, confrontations with local Indigenous people, and a violent local massacre, while sieges and rescues test resourcefulness. Themes of self-reliance, neighborliness, loss, and attachment to landscape run through the narrative.
