THE BIOGRAPHY OF A PRAIRIE GIRL (EARLY FRONTIER AMERICA)
THE BIOGRAPHY OF A PRAIRIE GIRL...LET'S YOU SHARE HOW IT IS TO LIVE IN THE DAKOTAS DURING THE SETTLING OF EARLY AMERICA. A REALLY WONDERFUL NOVEL! 250 PAGES IN PRINT!
• This volume includes a “Detailed Biography” of our author, Eleanor Gates.
This novel describes the life of a little child in the Far Northwest of pioneer days, and is interesting from more than one point of view. It gives with a minuteness and veracity that can can be appreciated even by one wholly unacquainted with the conditions described in every phase of life as it existed in the Dakotas many years ago.
This is done by picturing that life as seen through the eyes of a child growing up on a lonely prairie farm. Thus the author has succeeded not only in transcribing for posterity a state of our country’s growth which is fast passing away, but also in adding to it a delightful note of human interest….a study of childhood on a remote farm.
This book is not a novel, and the style is so quaintly simple that it might almost have been told by the little girl herself, but the same characters continue throughout, and, in spite of the fact that not one of them possesses any name more personal than “the eldest brother,” "the biggest brother,” “the youngest brother,” “the mother” and so on, they all possess quite distinct personalities, and we follow their adventures with no lack of sympathy.
It seems perfectly appropriate that a Dakota story should begin with a blizzard, and this one does it…...a blizzard that buries the lonely farmhouse under mountains of snow and cuts it off for days from the rest of the world. It was during the wild hours of this storm that the little girl made her first appearance at the farm….and it was always a mystery to her how the stork ever reached her home on that December afternoon without letting her get frozen.
We hear much nowadays of the monotony of a farmer’s life, but certainly monotony formed no part in the busy seasons that came and went with this family of which the little girl soon became a member of and by no means unimportant. There was always something interesting doing or to be done, and the little girl, from force of circumstance, not infrequently bore an essential share of the burden of work and responsibility thrust upon her brothers by their isolated life. Side by side with the child’s development runs the vivid and faithful picture of the ranch life that was the principal element in that development and it is really remarkable with what skill the author combine the two.
In homes so remote from neighbors it was simple family events that assumed vast importance and so the little girls christening is one of the first we read about...and many more that follows.
