Description: A woman's remarkable life provides a new perspective on a century of turbulent change.

Daybreak Woman, (also known as Jane Anderson Robertson), the daughter of an Anglo-Canadian trader and a Scots-Dakota woman, was born at a trading post on the Minnesota River in 1810. When she died in 1904, after having lived in the region all those years, she had witnessed seismic changes, survived cataclysmic events, and, with her children, endured to rebuild lives as Anglo-Dakota people in an anti-Indian world.--From back cover.
