“I realized I had seen and lived it all—all the successive phases of the frontier, first the frontiersman, then the pioneer, then the farmers and the towns.”

I grew up loving her books, and I read them over and over again. One summer, my family toured several of her hometowns, including DeSmet and Mansfield. I don’t think we are related at all, but some members in my family tree had the same pioneering spirit!
I love her books too. Family stories about pioneers are the best!
I enjoyed her first book when I was a child – I think I was given it as a birthday present. Being from Australia some things were quite different – the snow and I particularly remember her describing looking up into a tree – our trees are different. Marvellous stories though.
Thank you for responding;I loved her books too.
