Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells a captivating story of a young girl's life growing up in the mid-19th century amidst the changing landscape of the Great Lakes region. The author's vivid memories paint a picture of a time when the region was still largely wild, dotted with small settlements and populated by Native Americans, fur traders, and intrepid settlers. The narrative weaves together personal experiences, historical events, and family folklore, offering a glimpse into the author's childhood on a small island, the building of a ship, the arrival of Mormon settlers, and the perils of navigating unforgiving winters. The book explores themes of family, faith, community, and survival, as the author chronicles the struggles and joys of life on the frontier. The author's portrayal of her family's experiences, their relationships with others, and the difficulties they faced in navigating a changing world, is especially compelling. As we follow her journey from a young girl filled with wonder to a woman shaped by the challenges of her environment, we gain a unique understanding of what life was like for those living on the fringes of civilization. This intimate and insightful book offers a rare perspective on the early days of the American Midwest and the impact of religious movements on the lives of those living in the region.
