Produktbeschreibung

This tale of two sisters courageously homesteading on the prairie in 1907 provides a lively portrait of frontier life. "Interesting in its spirit and atmosphere, and it is told simply and well. . . This is an unusual record, well worth reading."-New York Times Book Review "Mrs. Kohl has told this story of South Dakota with a simplicity, a directness, and an understanding of its quietly heroic element which make her book an appealing as well as a significant contribution to the latter-day history of the pioneers."-Saturday Review

Autorenporträt

Edith Eudora Ammons and her sister Ida Mary moved to central South Dakota in 1907 to try homesteading near the "Land of the Burnt Thigh"-the Lower Brule Indian Reservation. These two young women, both in their twenties and "timid as mice," found a community of homesteaders (including several other single women).
