description: The principal events in the story are factual. The characters were real people – ancestors of the wife of the author. The narrative recounts the harrowing experiences of the pioneering Reynolds family during its effort, in 1779, to migrate by riverboat from western Maryland to the region known as Kentucky. This account of the trials and resourcefulness of Margaret Reynolds, Elizabeth’s mother and the heroine of the story, was told to the original newswriter in 1835 when Elizabeth was sixty-four years old.
