description: Mette Marie Christensen was not yet 5 years old when her parents homesteaded on the North Dakota prairie, but her memories of that experience remained fresh and vivid all her life. She was past 70 when she wrote down the stories told in this book, and took part in the creation of some of its illustrations. The result is a view of homesteading as seen through the eyes of a child, a heart-felt story that appeals to young and old alike. It describes a bygone era that can never be repeated, a time of hardship and adventure that helped lay the foundation for the nation we are today.
