In his preface the author says: ‘* To enhance the interest of this story, emphasis has been given
to everything that went to make up the home-life of the pioneer settlers, or that relates to their
various avocations.” In all history no better examples of manliness, energy and conscientiousness
could be found, to be read about and studied by a child whose character is just forming. The
story is told in such a vivid way that it is as interesting and absorbing as a romance.
